- The less-expensive, yet still excellent-performing "workhorse" version of our popular Gurkha Kukri knife; There are very few knives in the world that we can think of that can out-chop or out-cut a good Kukri

- The full tang is completely encapsulated in a comfortable and durable polypropylene handle that has been ergonomically designed for comfort and safety, allowing you to keep a secure grip on the Machete even in the most inclement conditions
- Made of tough and durable 1055 Carbon Steel with black baked-on anti-rust matte finish for extra protection
- Includes a durable Cor-Ex sheath for added safety and carrying convenience; Dimensions: 13 in blade length, 5 in handle length, 2. 8 mm blade thickness, 16 oz weight

Cold Steel Kukri
Getting down to brass tacks, though, I highly recommend the Cold Steel Kukri machete. I picked one up about a year ago and although it doesn't come with the sharpest blade, it is really easy to hone.
It's awesome quality, comes with a sheath, and the kukri shape combined with an 18" blade makes cutting off even the largest of arms a snap!
Badass? How about a Machete / Kukri? :D

Brace for rant.
Alright, you have a shit ton of survival knives and machete's to choose from, but for my money I have always loved Cold Steel's products. For your case I would recommend Cold Steel's Bushman knife and Kukri Machete.

Here is why.
First off they can both take a lot of punishment and keep going. Prove it you say? Well the fine people and cold steel do that for you.

And here is the best part. Both of them are so cheap, If I break one tomorrow beyond repair (Highly unlikely by the way) I'm not out a whole lot of money. I can buy another one without loosing sleep. That's a good thing with a work knife, I don't know about you, but a piece of equipment I paid a lot of money for I'm much more careful with. I treat my bushman like a 1950's drunken dad with his redheaded step child, and that's what you want to be able to do with a survival knife. I want to be able to toss the fucker in the mud, use it to clean small or large game, and then use it as an impromptu tent peg. I will warn you though, Haole_Boy does bring up a good point about the handle. It does get very uncomfortable when used for a while. But that's easly fixed with some para cord, or if you want, go and grab some handle tape for a tennis racket.
As for your question about the pros and cons of a kukri vs a hatchet; I find each tool has it's up and downs. My camping bag has both the kukri machete and a hatchet. I find that the heft of the hatchet helps when cutting through actual logs, while the kukri is good for cutting through medium sized tree limbs. But honestly, if i had to drop weight, I'd drop the hatchet. I can power through the log if I had to with the kukri machete. Not as comfortable, but doable.
I am like 99% positive its a cold steel. http://www.amazon.com/Cold-Steel-Kukri-Machete-Handle/dp/B000FJRR2K/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1343949055&sr=1-1&keywords=cold+steel+kukri
Here you go
Those look too pretty to get all beat up out in the woods. I got this one several years ago and have no complaints so far.
Are you really prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse?
Yep, check out this. At $19 you could buy 2.
However you might like one direct from Nepal.
Why would you not own one.
I sleep with this by the bed in case of intruders. We have a lot of blades and things around though. I'm just to lazy to track them all down and take photos lol.
That sucks. I had to replace my card 3 times in am month before I realized it was the gas station I was going to that was stealing the info.
NOT MY CARD.
Machete to exact your vengeance, obviously. Or you could use it to chop up canceled cards, if you want to be all legal about it.
