I know there's a ton of these threads, and I've read many of them. Some of which were very similar to mine, but I thought what the heck.
I'm looking for a good durable all-rounder. I want to be able to strap it up on my pack and wander off into the wilderness, whether it's just for a day, or for a week. Something not incredibly heavy that might not be the best at any specific task, but does well at everything.
This will be my first kukri, I don't know if it matters but I am a male, 6' tall, 185lbs, long arms, and not incredibly strong just average build.
I thought the BAS or the WWII might serve my needs, although I'm not sure the difference between the two. I also liked the idea of the full tang chiruwa ang khola, but I honestly doubt I'd need that kind of prying power.
Very open to suggestions! Thanks!

) Personally my most used/versatile kuks are probably my KLVUK's. Keep an eye out for them on the DOTD they pop up from time to time but be warned, they go fast and are ADDICTIVE! (Like everything else here 
)
It'll get plenty of use. I have 2, one lives in my car, the other in the apartment. They've been used for such tasks as carving the Thanksgiving turkey and building wooden bridges in the woods of NH. Great great blades, and light. My best description is they feel, to me, like light weight BAS'. Similar profile.
