the hogs will eat it up. this forum is for the performance crowd.

we still love your bowies, but come on jerry.

Great reviews guys. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I love the Regulator but must say I have been GRAVELY dissappointed with edges on most of my Bussekin steel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. I am not knocking anything- it is just toatly inconsistent and makes one wonder <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> ? My Regs were razor sharp- where other knies have been downright dull <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbdn.gif" alt="" />.As for the KZ- I think it maight look better mounted on a wall rather than performance it appears <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. On the other hand-how about a BIG kudos to Dan on the Regulators <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />!!!

As Khukris go, the Killa Zilla can hold its own with my HIs, but none of mine are as big and heavy as the KZ. I question even the need for the super thick HI Khuks. I know, I have angered both HI and Busse lovers by now, but those thinner LTC Khuks from Cold Steel chop better. My Condor golok can kick some khukri butt. It's a chopping machine. I just don't think I need any 38 ounce half inch thick knives, as impressive as they are. I have an axe.

The zilla's handle isn't well suited to a proper kukri swing. The LTC has more of a flare, so you can give it a good wrist snap, but as mag said it's not needed.

For the sake of fair comparisons, I used the same basic swing and grip on all the different knives. The LTC would chop even better if I used a kukri-style grip utilizing the butt. Even swung like a normal knife, it still bested everything else on the list.
