Furax W. vs Tekko / Sibear vs Jat Kittag have very similar stats, here it's quite the difference though. 15% vs 25% crit and 2x vs 2.5x crit multiplier should make the difference here with the insane melee crit mods.

on paper, Dark Split-Sword should deal over 50% more damage than the Kamas with only the 1.5x melee combo (Blood Rush).

Unless you maybe build for a slash status build, status will also be superior on Dark Split-Sword because of the 4x IPS weighting. Even if it's base Radiation damage, it will proc modded elements (like Corrosive) much more often than the Kamas.
