BTW, 5.56, do you have the Ontario one which I posted the pic? Any reccomendation how do I order the machete into my country and how much would it cost?

Khukris are too heavy, the blade is designed for, literally, beheading an opponent so it's too thick. You want a thinner, slightly springy and longer blade to cut brush. The para cord can be wrapped with a loop for a lanyard but it can also be removed quickly to form a tourniquet if you slip up with a long sharp blade.

I heard the Khukri is good when used in the rainforest and used against thick branches!

You can use a stone as a hammer if you need to but why?
Use the correct tool for the job and the effort needed is less.
I recomend:
Pro-tool industries 'Woodsmans pal' with the Universal knucklegaurd fitted

So you are saying that Khukris are not practical if I want to use it regularly?

You'll get tired and a sore arm swinging a blade that's too short and too heavy. Use a machete. A khukri is okay for a hatchet, not a sling blade for vines and foliage.

zander_0633 · March 5th, 2006

Ok the problem of importing has been solved! So now back to the knives! Do I buy a knive made from Stainless steel or a Carbon steel one? Which is better?
Any special brands to reccomend?
