I got a Cold Steel Kukri and after re-profiling the edge it's a decent cutter but not as good as my old 24" Ontario Latin that is my main clearing tool at the Cabin. When it comes to clearing paths and cutting saplings the Kukri just is not on par with the big Latin. And for real chopping a hawk or a hatchet is a much better tool. The Kukri currently resides in my get home bag in the trunk of my car with a SOG Hawk, an impulse buy of poor quality. There if I ever need them, but I really won't fret over them if something happens to them.
I've been a Tomahawk guy since my uncle took me to my first Rendezvous some 40 years ago. All those mountain men with their long rifles, green river knives, and tomahawks just struck me as the coolest guys around. Lately, I have been carrying a Devin Price made Two Hawks Longhunter on my belt. For the last few years with just a hawk and a good Hudson bay knife I can handle just about any camp chore short of felling trees. They are great tools for light to medium chopping, splitting kindling, making feather sticks, cutting tent poles and hammering them into the dirt. Plus they go real nice with the Santa Fe Hawken
