My CAK (chiurwa) is. A 14.5 inch one and is very handy , my 2 cents is that if you want an axe like implement with a large cutting area and sweet spot get the m43 also been known to power through wood for kindling. I know im not the only one. If you wanted only one i would go with a CAK 1st. But i would go with something in the 16 - 18 inch range and in the 27 oz range as the cak is lighter. swinging the m43 is heavy after a fashion especially right now for me as the hand grip is a little on the large size for me "out of the box" ;) which lends to a slightly tighter gripping action of my hand which fatigues the muscles trying to hang on. That said once i file down the grips and make it fit me i will most likely rely very heavily on it.

The surprise for me is the KLVUK it came razor sharp and even with a traditional rat tail tang bit into those spruce and was quicker yet no signs of handle loosening and was less fatiguing so i would highly recommend making sure everyone has at least 1 or 2 of them.

Hope that helps
 
It sure does! Appreciate your input Red Eagle. Which is why my request to compare the two.

Update: just bought a better scale, my 16.5" CAK is 32.5 ounces.

Which is why my request to compare the two. From experience and my personal capabilities (read: strength), a 27 Oz. (?) CAK should be in my comfort zone for the routine yardwork I need to handle. Thanks again.

Yup i would say go with the cak 1st, at a 27 oz and 16.5 -18 inch i have a few khuks in that weight range and size and for me they are perfect for working.
