Well we knew the axe would win, but that A1 was a beast

[@gunnerhusnian4375]

I love that cold steel! great job

[@donoberloh]

Why not compare the Falkniven modern Bowie or the Thor?

[@dylanmurphysweg6879]

sweet! thanks bro

[@addicted2tone349]

I love your channel, you're a knife junkie like me..

[@supertrickyrickyandtheslip1473]

At first I thought horrified thinking that you were using a Spyderco Roc which is a g10 folder. I didn't realise there was a Spyderco fixed blade called the Rock. Nice looking knife.

SuperTrickyRicky And The Slippery SevenSevens its a good one! check my review a couple down ;)

schemp rock

[@flashdamingo]

Not tempted by Becker Rhinehardt ,CS Gurkha Khukuri ......Tops Power Eagle ....Condor golok......parangs etc ?

[@CedricAda]

flashdamingo maybe some day! fixed blades are funny - they rate much better on youtube but they arent used as much (pretty much only when I go on walks or camp, or shoot videos). So jy collection rate is much slower. The Reinhart is definitely on my list as well as the condor eco parang

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Wow, I thought the Rock would have been better,

[@CedricAda]

AlaskanFrontier1 me too to be honest! I think its more a clearer than a chopper

When doing a comparative test, one needs to keep the conditions as near to exactly the same as possible. Now, in your test, the first knife the F1 was at the end of the plank, furthest from the vice, and the axe almost right next to the vice. This immediately invalidates the test! The F1 was chopping onto a "bouncing" board whereas the others were increasingly more stable, with the axe onto a more or less immobile object. Clearly not a fair comparison. You should have positioned the chopping area exactly the same distance from the vice each time, to give a fairer comparison. The "feel" of the F1 was obviously influenced by the "bounce" and thus felt lighter than say the Trail Master, and "feel" with an axe is irrelevant due to the long handle. The video doesn't show clearly the time interval between the tests, so there' s physical fatigue to take into account between test, which might also influence results. These are the problems associated with comparative testing.
