Another great video. I think the snap cut is also safer since it can be completed with a more controlled swing to get similar force.
I can do a complete control test to validate your video if you want. I've got an RBK but I'll need you to send me the M18 and your self designed kuk, which looks like a beast by the way.

Thanks, man! I figure people will like the BK21 a lot more using the snapcut.
Thanks, mbay! I'll be bringing these blades to the gathering if you want to test drive them there. Lol. And, yes, the snapcut is safer indeed. It allows the tool to do the work. Wait until you see the refined design. It's really going to be a beast.Another great video.

Thanks, WEST! I really try to focus on skills in every video. I believe a good skill set is the most important piece of gear anyone can ever have. Send me a link to your channel.Cool video. I like the emphasis on skill and technique rather than just chopping stuff, which is what I always do in my vids

I was wondering about that kuk in the video. Didn't know it was your design, very nice. I just watched your video on it at Becker East, looks like it chops out of its size range. Well done.

It is, Tank. If you don't have one, get one!
Redesigned for better function, but still in the same size class.
Thanks, JT! It was the little khuk that could in this video. LolGreat vid brother!!

Thanks, WEST! Yeah, it does really well for a 7" blade. And thanks for the repost. It's fitting being that the gathering is just around the corner.

The snap cut is what makes the BK 21 shine. A little practice and it becomes effortless. Really good technique in this video, thanks for sharing. :thumbup:

Rick I am looking at that and it looks a little like a BAS kuk, but done with Todds monster knife skills behind it, and some modern rethinking. Its growing on me. I like bent blades anyway but that ones growing on me.
