Well guys, I am back at it, and heck, maybe people will enjoy it more this time.
Battle of the Midweight Choppers-
Ill be comparing the Becker Bk9 with the Esee Junglas II and the Shadowtech Python.
Each knife will chop through an equal length 2x4 that is equally clamped 5 times, with the highest and lowest number of chops being removed, and the remaining 3 rounds being averaged.
Its not the perfect scientific model, but its as good as anybody is going to find, and it will make for an interesting data point and baseline.
For comparison sake, on paper-
Knife Weight Blade L Thickness Steel OAL Grind MSRP
Becker Bk 9 16.4oz 9" 3/16" 1095cv 14.75" saber $90-120
Junglas 2 20.8oz 8.38" 3/16" 1095 14.5" saber $150-160
Python 22.6oz 8" 1/4" 8670 14" hollow $180
