This is me doing some chopping comparisons with the Bark River Parang and the Gränsfors Bruks Outdoor Axe. I really enjoy this knife and axe, and I highly recommend both of them. The Parang, however, might be difficult to find these days. If you fail to find one, I'd like to recommend the Bark River JX5; an excellent chopper that won my first chopping contests (close call with the Dakkar, and the Parang was not in the contest).
