>>853277And you're speaking from personal experience, of course? Because this general statement sounds an awful lot like parroting typical internet bullshit.
I have both a jessmuk and a traditional, drop point scandi knife (pic related), and they are slightly different, but the jessmuk is far from a toy. It's actually an excellent knife (though expensive for what it is).
For one - it has the single most comfortable handle I have ever used on a knife. For another, when doing clearing cuts (such as when making stakes) and some notches, the wrist angle (as a result of the belly shape) is more comfortable, than with a straight edge.
It (jx2) is less effective at piercing with the tip (such as piercing hide), but slices remarkably well, because of the curved edge.
Being wide, it is slightly worse when a narrow blade is needed, and that's about it.
In all honesty - I use both of these knives (based on the mood that strikes me), and I would not say one is better, or more effective (overall), than the other.
Jx2 is a great knife, awesome quality, but If I have to be honest - you're paying about 50 bucks extra simply because it has pm101's logo stamped on it (that's marketing for you).
Not that it isn't worth the price, but If it was one of LT's own designs, and not hyped up by a few youtubers, it would probably land in the $180-200 range, instead of being $235+
