Howdy all. Hey Dan, thank you for being open to ideas. Like I said, my vote's for a kukri, with an 11" blade and a res-c handle, but if it's priced higher than a 1111 it's going to be hard for me to purchase as I'm saving for my kids' education in this crazy don't-know-where-we're-going-world. At the same time, I would like a beast of a tool that'll last and that I can use hard. Thanks, again. I know you have your own factors you need to consider.
