The Cold Steel Bolo machete is pretty heavy!!
I guess it depends on where you live?I have a few large knives. I find them, for the most part, one trick ponies---they do the jobs they were designed to do very well, but hardly suitable for everyday tasks (unless you're cutting a trail through the jungle while eating coconuts!)

I did consider Sami/leuku knivesI love puukkos!
I did notice the blade of this parang had a near 1/4" curve, I contacted Condor about this and asked them what there tolerances were for warpage. They sent a new parang and a prepaid UPS to ship the first one back. I received the the new parang and it is just fine. The customer service of Condor was excellent for me.The Condor bushcraft showed up today and it looks pretty good. It cost $51 shipped, the edge came pretty rough but it was easy to sharpen on a flat diamond stone. The kukri knife this parang is replacing was a pain to sharpen do to the recurve design.
I am looking forward to putting the blade to use, I think I will be pleased.
I skinned one deer with my large bowie knife but it was too long for me. Awkward describes it best. I prefer a shorter blade for this task.

I have way too much stuff in my truck, but if I dug around I would find a bow saw, hatchet and a Mora along with a bunch of other stuff like a shovel and pick ax and a come along and all the other stuff I can't remember I might need some day.I carry a hatchet and a small folder in my truck. Have gutted deer with the folder and the hatchet will handle building a small fire.

I have a Cold Steel Kukri for such duties, although I'm building it a proper scabbard. The sheath that came with it is a piece of junk.
