Thoughts on this B11 VS BRKT Golok

[tundratrader]

I have the B11 which I think is quite a bit more machete like than people realize. The longer blade really gives it nice reach and forward balance. I am amazed at the precision I can make cuts and chops with it. I like that it is thick and will chop but not to thick that it is slow. It is about the same size as the Golok. Does anyone here have both? Pics of both together? What do you all think? They are both a great compromise on chopper/machetes.

I can't remember... do you have a BWM? I plan to do a bit of side-by-side between my BWM and my custom Golok (upswept point instead of the traditional butter knife end) in a couple of weeks when work slows down and the mosquitos have thinned out.

I don't have a B11 though. Not a big fan of that style of handle.

I'll eat a spoonful of marmalade if Horn Dog doesn't have them both.

I do have the bwm. I think because of the larger handle it doesn't handle as well for machete/brush tasks. I have not done any side by side comparisons lately. The B11 just feels better all around. That it is so light is a big plus.
