Final Round | Mini Chop Tournament 2 | COndor Bushcraft Parang vs Khailash Pensioner Khukri

Which design is most powerful? The venerable Khukri or the swift & efficient Parang. Only time will tell, as we pit the Condor Bushcraft Parang in 1075 Carbon Steel against the Khailash Pensioner Khukri in a battle of chopping efficiency!
Parang or Khukri, may the best blade win!

What's a dual grit edge, you may ask?
Think: high performance aggressive knife edge!!! This method for versatile razor sharp knives is fast, easy, and leads to edge retention increases of up to 50% in some tasks! Watch my tutorials to quickly learn innovative hand sharpening techniques with whetstone, diamond plate, & honing strop.
The dual grit method is a specific method for sharpening one side of the edge coarse and the other fine - an updated tutorial is below:
• CPM MagnaCut Dual Grit...
And the results have been observed by independent testing:

Interesting how the 17º edges outperformed 19º edges in these tasks. How thick are these knives behind the cutting edge ? Have you ever tried to measure the length of the cutting edge grind before & after testing ? This would yield a concept of a working edge radius.

[@homeslicesharpening]

Yeah, it really was - not sure if we're seeing less material compression yielding better lasting sharpness. Who knows? Both of these knives were somewhere between 18 and 22 thousandths behind the edge. I don't think I have equipment sufficient to measure the difference in edge grind length accurately, but that would be fascinating!

I’d live to see you review a Tereva Scrama. It’s my Go-to camp knife, it bites deep it, swings well, and it doesn’t mess up my wrists like many large knives do.

[@homeslicesharpening]

Well, you'll be pleased to know that the next chopping series (of which filming is already underway) is Skrama vs all winners!

[@nandayane]

@@homeslicesharpening wonderful! Scrama against the world, it certainly is a worthy competition.

I either need to stop watching this series, or tell my credit card company to block any payments to Khailash's web store.

Haha!!!
