Pros:
- Impressive cutting power
- Very tough blade
- Ergonomic handle
- Sharpener and ferro rod included
Cons:
- Impractical guard shape
- Handle attachment could be more durable
This is one mean chopper for sure. It can handle anything from splitting wood to self-defense. Based on my tests I'm quite impressed by how well it handles and how it makes heavy duty tasks fairly easy.
Definitely a good choice when you want a large blade for camping, survival and other outdoor exercises.
By the way, the name doesn't really fit, it would be more appropriate to call it a barong.
