Kumar kobra vs. Sirupati

[David Poston]

What's the real difference between a kumar kobra and a sirupati? Would the sirupati be a better chopper? If you were looking for a khukuri to clear brush instead of using a machete, which would it be?

Thanks,
David

Kobra is thinner, narrower and lighter than Sirupati.

Sirupati will make a better chopper.

Since Kobra is lighter it'd be easier to handle clearing brush.

Hi David, I would go with the Sirupati. The Kobra is not really built for choping. The Sirupati is probibly the lightest blade I would use for any real work/chopping.
