Wanted to know what some strong knife loving individuals such as yourselves thought about these?

I have a number of khukuris from HI, which have a forum on Bladeforums. Khukuris covers a very wide blade class from those intended to cover light vegetation, to those that are basically heavy splitters. They are solid utility blades (and obviously lots of martial background). I have a 18" AK that in particular makes a great knife for woody brush work, which has 25%+ the chopping ability of a quality hatchet, with more reach and vastly more edge length for light vegetation cutting. The handles tend to bother people at first though on the traditional models.
