Man, this is a popular subject today. First the Swamp Rat forum, then the Busse Forum and now here. Earlier today I came up with a sketch for a Swamp Rat Khuk. It would be a 3/8" thick, 18" OAL Khukuri with a 13" blade weighing in at around 28 -30 oz. The handle would be the same type as on the new Ratweiler or in ResC for the Scrapyard line. The deep belly is for chopping efficiency. The choil was thrown in as an ode to the "Cho" found on traditional Khuks. Not sure how useful it would be here, except looking cool.
