The JX may work well but my god it has to be one of the ugliest knives I have ever seen in my life. Also not really a fair comparison since the JX weighs around 28 ounces.

So yes the Skrama could be compared to a BK4. I keep saying the Skrama is a thinking man's golock as thats what it is. A portable, small package, large blade for everything before reaching for an axe. Keen edge that cuts.
Lastly, I think the Skrama has it over the BK4 for pure utility, keenness of edge and comfort of handle. However, if I wanted a chopper for having in the cab of a digger, for bashing out roots or chopping blocks, then the BK4 might be just the ticket.
Been eagerly following this thread. For years I've had my eye on a bigger fixed blade that can handle some chopping, but still do other tasks if needed.I thought this was a great vid on the Skrama. He had fun doing the tests and was realistic with his findings. Demonstrated some of the limitations well. I'll be following what else he finds out as he has both the carbon and stainless versions:

Thought this one was rubbish, as it didn't say anything much. A certain desperation to find reason to not like it. I agree its annoying that "wish I could have thought it up". JX isn't for me, and not a good comparison. Might be for controversy sake and the attention it brings. I'd be the first to say not everyone has to like the Skrama as it might not fit into some peoples style or environment. Here I think it says more about the reviewer.

Think it comes down to what credence you give to the competence of the reviewer.
