kukri vs magnum kukri?

100% Kukri. Now dont get me wrong, the magnum is a cool looking blade, but I think they designed that more for the look than the functionality. This kukri in my opinion, is the perfect chose for any survivalist.

I have the kukri - not the magnum - so I can only speak to that point, but I think the Magnum is overkill. You will have more than enough reach and blade area with the regular kukri.

Corey, for me, it was the overall size, working blade length. I have an old military style machete, blade 22in. It is a bit long and tends to catch on brush when cutting, so the Magnum Kukri is much the same. The Kukri Machete being 13in. blade length and the overall length of 18in. was the right size.The weight forward blade gives quite a bit of impact on striking which helps in not getting arm weary. Also, absolutely no perceptable blade flex.Either one would be a good choice, just depending on personal preference. Hope this helps.

Mine is a good tool, well balanced, sharp, and requires caution. I add a wrist strap.

Funny you should ask............before I bought the Magnum Dynalab MD807 (which I love!) I ordered the Grace from Amazon. I was completely unimpressed -- it did the job, but the Sangean seemed to be better built and more functional. That was about two years ago, so I can't give a detailed reaction. But I repacked it in its original box and returned it to Amazon the very next day after I received it. No loss!

Looks like they are either the same, or very similar. It is big and heavy (the Aura HD is no lightweight either), so together the package becomes quite unwieldy. I have this, but don't use it.

the only advantage is a thicker wall which gives more durability. I have the magnum and it is pretty thick and heavy. I doubt you would have an issue

I can't say for sure. I looked at it (the sheath for the kukri) and as long as you have the kydex one, it looks like it will most likely fit. But I'm not positive.

The Machete is a thinner and cheaper blade. The Kukri plus is a very nice blade and quite thick. The machete is just what it says it is. The Kukri plus is a weapon for cutting your opponent in half. Blade needs little maintenance, not sure of the machete, but I am pretty sure it will rust sooner.

Larger is much better. Perforation on all sides is much better, so performance is much better and faster. I love mine!!

I have no idea and threw the box out already. I know I have used many of the round style and this far superior and looks tons better. I think the flow is lower, aka less wasteful, than the round designs. The larger head means it is much more rainshower like too. I sure hope this helps. If not AKDY must have a website with specifications you can google.

I own both models, I find the newer one to be sturdier and a little more thought out. It feels a little bigger too. The wiring is more secure, the control is lighter so puts less stress on the wires should the clip come off your clothing. The storage case protects the AfterShokz when not in use. The charger is by micro USB and not plugging it into the old USB connector. I feel overall it is an improvement.

This is the Beltronics STI Magnum. Don't know why this version is cheaper. All I know is that this device has saved me A LOT of money

You nailed it. I personally prefer the BK10 to the BK2 but your mileage may vary. Best of luck!

Both the Magnum 1800W and the STX Turboforce 3000 are Size #12 grinders and not Size #8 or Size #5 which are smaller grinders.Both grinders will grind about the same amount of meat per minute/hour and both have approximately the same amount of torque, so no problem there.The "Only" reason I would steer you to the Magnum 1800W is if you are planning on grinding Chicken/Bones for your pets Raw Food Diet as the configuration of the grinding head on the Magnum 1800W is more "geared" to grinding these.If you are just purchasing a grinder to grind meat, you might just wish to purchase the grinder you think you like the "looks" of as both will perform about equal.Regards,SashaCustomer Service TechThe Mercantile Station 2(402) 742-2586 Both the Magnum 1800W and the STX Turboforce 3000 are Size #12 grinders and not Size #8 or Size #5 which are smaller grinders.Both grinders will grind about the same amount of meat per minute/hour and both have approximately the same amount of torque, so no problem there.The "Only" reason I would steer you to the Magnum 1800W is if you are planning on grinding Chicken/Bones for your pets Raw Food Diet as the configuration of the grinding head on the Magnum 1800W is more "geared" to grinding these.If you are just purchasing a grinder to... » Read More Both the Magnum 1800W and the STX Turboforce 3000 are Size #12 grinders and not Size #8 or Size #5 which are smaller grinders.Both grinders will grind about the same amount of meat per minute/hour and both have approximately the same amount of torque, so no problem there.The "Only" reason I would steer you to the Magnum 1800W is if you are planning on grinding Chicken/Bones for your pets Raw Food Diet as the configuration of the grinding head on the Magnum 1800W is more "geared" to grinding these.If you are just purchasing a grinder to grind meat, you might just wish to purchase the grinder you think you like the "looks" of as both will perform about equal.Regards,SashaCustomer Service TechThe Mercantile Station 2(402) 742-2586 « Show Less

I have both and they are very different. They are both big knives. The SP51 has the kraton type handle but a thicker blade. Also, the blade is not as pointed and bevels about half way from the back to the edge. While the RTAKII has a micarta type handle, thinner blade, but wider and bevels from the back to the edge. I think the RTAKII handle, though durable, feels clunky with little character. The SP51 handle feels good but the blade is heavy. I don't think there is any right answer. You almost need to take your chances and try them out one at a time.

It looks like the same. Maybe just on sale or possibly returned, refurbished or gray market. I have two STI Magnums and I've been somewhat disappointed with both because laser detection will false constantly in hot weather. I have to disable laser detection from spring to fall. They have great X, K, and KA band detection.

magnum gives more reach and leverage, definitely an advantage over the normal one

Kukri is better for pure bushcraft, but will not work great for the smaller chores. The Ranger is a better all around UTILITY piece, with fighting capabilities

Have not used the 8500 but I have owned the magnum sti and now the redline. I do believe that the redline is worth the extra money and it out performed the sti
