I possess a Scrapizashi and Waki but have been hesitant to put them to work. It's hard to intentionally beat up works of art.

I also have an Ontario machete that I bought many years ago but I'd love to replace it as a good beater machete if there is a superior option available.

The Ka-bar Kukri caught my eye as it is pretty inexpensive and the reviews on Amazon are very good. Sadly it's made in Taiwan. However, for the price I'm willing to overlook this. Wondered if any of you guys have tried one of these out?
