My son has the Varan which is the smaller brother to the Kamunga. It's a good chopper so I can imagine that the Kamunga must be a great chopper. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one from that line.
Good luck!

I really like a khukri. They look good and there are a lot of different styles.

If you are going to go with a Condor, which from what I understand are excellent large blade knives, I would order from Ben at Baryonyx Knife Company. He has excellent customer service, and he will inspect your blade and make sure you get a good one. He also provides an extra service on a lot of his merchandise where he will make adjustments and touch up edges to make sure the knife you receive is perfect. I only own one small blade Condor, and I made the mistake of not getting it from Ben. I got a crappy one. Condor's quality control has been suspect in the past, but I think they are trying to work on that now. Cheers!

They scaled back new model releases this year to focus on improving quality control and production time.
BK2
I have a BK-2 and wouldn't recomend it as a chopper, it just isn't long enough.Originally Posted by borego
You can snapcut with it by only gripping the back end of the handle, sort of like a leuku, but its still not going to be a good dedicated chopper.
If you want a Becker, the BK-4 is suposed to be a great chopper, the BK-7 an BK-9 are suposed to be decent too.
I'd go with a Kukri. The Kabar heavy Bowie can be used as a chopper-- a little short tho.
I picked up an factory second Ontario Kukri off fleebay for under $50 a while back. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ONTARIO-KUKR...item2327683a19 The only flaw I found in mine was a bad grind job on the bevel near the handle. It didn't affect the blade at all, purely cosmetic. I thought it was a pretty food deal for a 1/4" kukri.
