Anyone use or own one of these? A friend who is something of a "bladesman" has one and likes it and suggests I should try one as a substitute to beating up one of my khuks in camp.. What say ya'll?
I have a selection of khuks and have tried using them for brush... the blades are a bit heavy, which is where the machete shines..I'll take a solid Kukri instead.

And for God's sake don't cut a finger off.
I know a knot-head that swung one into his own leg.
So how did he get the knot on his head?
I think he gets a few new ones every other time he opens his mouth.
Ah, one of those. Got it.

He's lucky that he didn't poke an eye out...So how did he get the knot on his head?
Got the smachet, will eventually take a semi-permanent place in my trunk.. Has some real heft to it. I don't think that it would really do as well as a real hatchet will do as far as splitting wood or taking down small dead trees... but it will work, and can be used for light digging chores, and in a pinch can be used as a canoe paddle. I didnt really NEED it but wanted to use it a bit just cuz I can.. Also picked up a CS Kobun to use as an EDC... It beats my Buck folder for weight and edge-holding, I like it in spite of the odd chisel tip.. and it is sharp!
Try Ka-Bar Kukri. We have two, in one in each of our two emergency bags. They are lighter than original kukries, still very solid though.I have a selection of khuks and have tried using them for brush... the blades are a bit heavy, which is where the machete shines..
