    Why limit yourself? A Khukri is a one trick pony, and so is a machete. Look into the Fallkniven modern Bowie or a Silky chopper. If on a budget, I had good luck with the kershaw camp 10. Ever tried to baton wood with a Kuk? Try that with a machete, Bolo or other. Not gonna work. A good chopper combined with a decent folding saw will do everything an axe will do, just better, safer and faster, plus take care of the rest of your camp chores.

    My workers on my farm used the cheap Chinese machetes when I bought the farm. I measured productivity and when I had a matrix, I then introduced GI machetes and Cold Steel Khukris, productivity went up almost 15% and the workers said at the end of the day they didn't feel so worn out.

    My guys use a machete until it has been filled down so much it looks like a sabre, they then will reduce the length of it to like 10 inch blade and use it for processing during harvest till it breaks.

    You want a hard workout try swinging a machete in tropical heat bent over for all day.

    It's lighter than axe, more cutting area than an axe, and there is an acute edge near the hilt for if you need to whittle.

    Very interesting hybrid on a axe/machete hybrid.
    I just picked one up recently and the more I use it the more impressed I am.

    Cheap Brazilian that works, or at least on stuff in Kentucky.

    Heard 2 bits of Machete advice. One is to buy machetes made in areas that use them with the second being a caveat that good designs are geared toward vegetation similar to what those areas figured out will work.

    Cold Steel, I still have the first one I purchased in 93, I could shave with that one. The second one didn't come as sharp but didn't take much to get it that way. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1015590393?pid=671403

    Those TOPS knives are pricey but 100% legit. His video was good.
