Just throwing one more leuku shot out for scale, since more viewers here likely have a #14 than they have an 1-8.

Leuku blade, in comparison, slightly thinner in back, thicker at tip, 4oz lighter, but feels as heavy or heavier out front as very little weight in rear-hold handle, while much of the #14 weight in rear and acting as counterbalance, plus this particular leuku blade nearly an inch longer, even though it shows only in the previous 1-8 shot.

Edge geometry is a six-of-one, half-dozen-of-the-other, thing. The #14 edge is deeper thinner, and will slice and bite deeper until thick upper side flat area. The leuku side-flats not quite as thick except at tip, and although edging more reminding of an axe, is flat grind going to convex, and (more a tribute to Pasi than any knife feature), slices and bites nearly as well, which is suprising.

The #14 a more refined modern fighter, the leuku more a Dark Ages nordic seax as for construction details, if not design particulars and ethnicity.

All-up sheathed weights, leuku 16oz on nose, #14 is 22.8oz.

Heavy tropical rains blowing in under porch, for any wondering what is the crap all over the #14 blade. Be a lot more of that soon enough with trifling 10"-15" forecast for next three days, but that is below what we have had this month already, so yawwwnn.
