If we are talking big all-rounders...
Up until a couple of months ago I would have probably said my Condor parang. Its a chopping supremo but a bit too nose heavy for close work.
But having used this exclusively for the last month and a bit, for me currently, it would have to be my Terävä Skrama 240, Carbon Steel.
The balance is inspired. When On the rear part of the hand and a half grip it has plenty of forward weight and inertia for full swing chopping or "parang" style chopping from the hand & wrist.
A well placed full swing will halve again an average 10" x 4" split in one strike. Itll also take a beating through some of the gnarliest knotty stuff too.
Choked up at the front of the grip its perfectly counterbalanced and feels 'weightless' for fine work and feathering. Very little fatiguing due to weight. Along with the dual grind its a proper "jack of all trades master of none"
It wont replace an axe, nor will it outmanouvre a 4" bushy. But for me at least, it does both jobs well enough if i had to take only one big blade, right now i'd bag this one.
Plus i have now done five fire-pit cook outs using this for the splitting and prep work and have not yet found a need to show it the stones.
The steel is proper tough and the heat treat seems to be spot on.
