BEST OVERALL IN THE FROM DAY 1 WAS THE BLUE HANDLED RAMBO CHOPPER I GOT FROM BEARTHEDOG,FOLLOWED BY THE BLACK HANDLED ONE, THE LINDERS ARE OK--BUT THE HANDLES HAVE CRACKED ON ONE AND GOT LOOSE ON THE OTHER,THE COLD STEEL KUKRI NEEDS A NEW HANDLE AS THE ORIGINAL ONE HURTS YOUR HAND AFTER 4 CHOPS ON MESQUITE.

THERE WAS NO BEST ON DAY 2 AS THEY WERE SO DIFFERENT

THE GRAYMAN IS A BEAST--WOULD MAKE A GREAT SURVIVAL KNIFE AND TAKE WHATEVER YOU THREW AT IT

THE CLEAVER IS BE A GREAT CAMP KNIFE(FOOD PREP AS WELL AS DEFENSE)

THE COLD STEEL BUSHMAN IS A OUTSTANDING KNIFE FOR THE $

THE LITTLE OKUDEN SHARP THING 2 IS A VERY UNDERRATED KNIFE--EVERONE THAT USES IT HAS TOLD ME HOW WELL IT FITS AND CUTS.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PHOTOS

Bill, Great pics. I really love the old tractor pics. I like the cleaver knife the best. I am getting ready to make something like that in the future. it will be my first design like that. I can hardly wait.
Zeus looks so cute with his bandana.

Love the pics but testing knives without a Siegle in sight? Kind of shocked me.

that blue handled parang or whatever it is. It looks like one hell of a good trail clearing tool. good stuff as always sir.

That Ground Pounder always appealed to me, looks like a Busse on steroids! Great shots, and I always love the pics of Zeus

WILLIAM.M · Dec 20, 2011

Bobby---Got a new Siegle yesterday--will be testing it this weekend

Looks like a fun trip out and a great place for some testing. I really like the look of that little Okuden knife.

Thanks for posting another comparison for those of us who may not have tried those knives.

Good job.

No windmills?
