If I was to buy a dedicated "chopper" knife; more chop then my Magnum Camp (not a true chopper by any means, but just a big handy hearty knife), but still more knife then my $20 Tramontina, then the KaBar Combat Bowie or Moses, ESEE junglas, and the BRK Bravo 2 or 3 or the 1909, would probably all be at the top of my list today all things, (incl. finances), considered...

(Thanks, now I think I might need a chopper)

That’s a good list. And, yes, clearly you need a choppa.

Cold Steel Traimaster; it will do all you ask of it. It's been my go to (even though I have many choppers, quite a few more expensive) for around 25 years.

Best bang for the buck and if you can step up to sanmai then BOOM.

The scrama is my Number one. Bk9 number two. Rd9(pre Ontario) third. It’s more like an rd7.6 now because I broke the tip off. I wish there was a .25 thick bk9....

Nice collection.

Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri and/or Trailmaster Bowie .

My Trailmaster actually got carried and used much more . Easier to carry and more versatile overall .

has anyone tried the CRKT Liong Mah machete? it's 1075 with a 12" blade... price seems around $80 (which is a little high considering 1075 machetes are often $10-20) The handle & ergonomics I hope make up for the difference, the next time I'm at my local knife store I hope they have one I could handle.
