Well I use that description as it explains what the knife does best and what I asked for in terms of describing the uses for the blade when placing my order... no offense intended .... but model wise they are variations of a "Grand Retribution" IIRC .... varied to improve on chopping ability and bead blasted pursuant to my request .... here they are pictured with my NMFBM ....
Unfortunately though they bite so deep on chopping that the hollow grind concave aspect of the blade seems to "bind" behind the edge and they are very hard to withdraw from "tree wood" .... I encountered this in a review I did on the Killa Zilla Khukri which I take it you have read ..... although they are very good on free hanging branches .... hence to my mind .... very much like a "machete" ....
