Skrama

Funny you should say that, my 200 arrived yesterday. It feels great in the hand and now has the Varusteleka makers mark and a sharpened spine. I have some wood from a few trees and shrubs I have had to prune so it will get a quick test on them later. The shorter blade is very comfortable out the book and excellently balanced in the hand, you can comfortably move your hand in the various positions which you can with the big brother. It does the have the first 5 cm of the blade with the different grind for the finer work.
Pete, Is the 200 the only model you have? Just wondered if you had the 240 also.
I have the 240, 200 and mini in the skrama range the pukkos I have the 110 and 140
I will post side by side photos soon of the lot of them

From what I can see the 240 and 200 have practically the same blade. Its only the handle size that offers an advantage of sorts. Do you think if you fitted a chunky lanyard to the 200 you could hold this and it give you the same amount of force generating potential as the 1 & 1/2 handle size of the 240?
Can you do a weight difference please? I know... I'm getting waaayyyyy analytical , put it down to Lockdown fever.
I'm thinking it may do so , I was considering a Golock for ruggedness then saw the Skrama support group waving the flag so thought I would take a punt. I will see how I get on with it.
There's no way I'd swap a skrama for a golock.
They are different tools to a degree, skrama being more knife like while the golock....well they don't call it a tree beater for nothing lol.
Little extra reach with a golock.
I'm sure quality varies but my golock is awful.
Needs a full regrind from new if you want it to cut and when doing mine the blade hardness varied so much I couldn't believe it.
From I'd guess low 50's hrc to sections hard enough that a file would skate over it.
I do like the golock shape but terribly made in my experience.
Is it svord that do a golock shaped chopper? Expensive though

Not changed the skrama at all.
If I were going to the jungle again and taking it I'd add my usual rope belt and bycle inner tube to the sheath. Rope belt for preference, inner tube as tinder and to give you fighting chance if stitching rots on you
Other than that I guess the back is big enough for a DC4 or something if you're that way inclined
Inner tube is a Good shout as is Paracord Lanyard I think. I see they also sell a whetstone but I didn't get that as unsure of the quality.
On my old wooden parang sheath I made a belt loop from three plait paracord to thread my belt rope through
