Shootist,
Also, for some big usefull knives, look at Bill Siegle's work. I just got one of his combat machetes and it is a beauty(for a user) 1/4" Stock and razor sharp. G10 slabs and kydex sheath with Tech-Lock. Did quite a number on a neighbors oak tree that he was bringing down.
You can find a link to his site by looking for any posting from Marion David Poff. Has a live link on his sig.

If this is the blade :
http://www.cuttingedge.com/makers/grecoa.jpg
A number of things leap out. First off of the handle looks really insecure and would lead to impacts off the talons which look squarish. Secondly a more forward grip is problematic because there is nothing to prevent your finger from contacting the edge.
Consider this, which is a similar blade, the PAB from Strider :
http://www.osograndeknives.com/Strider/Images/Model_PAB_Cord_Wrapped_01.jpg
It has neither of the above problems, and as well has a more pronounced curvature to help in heavy chopping, slicing, and puch cutting using a rocking motion, and as well as an angled handle/blade to increase power on heavy work.
For those kinds of prices though, you might be able to get a custom design with a convex profile that would give higher performance both in terms of penetration as well as a much lower tendancy to bind, and an overall greater durability.
The Brute by Camillus is another similar knife.
