yeah, I haven't handled the tarwar, but every other HI khuk I've feels indestructible, but I think most swords can't touch the AK/Ruck in terms of size/length/weight, not even those crazy expensive custom ones, but then again, they aren't designed for chopping hard wood, more like heads.
Don't forget my BRKT Northwinds. They held up pretty well against Ban's HK and I abused it pretty well at the chop off. They are tough little swords.
