Log-splitter: large blade, light tang

A large (10-12inch blade) knife is a very good tomahawk/kindling axe SUBSTITUTE, however, in my own experience (having carried an khukri for many years until the sheath wore out)a much smaller knife is required as well
(for cleaning and preparing food as well as making fuzzsticks

Sorry about that (automatic dialers should be outlawed except for fire and police) also, in Calif. at least, the carry laws are much looser for axes in general than they are for knives.
as far as weight is concerned, the tomawk I carry weighs 2.5 pounds (it's effective as a hammer as well) length? 19in. helve
weight is relative, I would rather carry a 2.5 poud item that does what I want, than a 12 oz. item that doesn't.
 
head over to the Himalayan Imports Forum and check out the DOTDs... a 18 inch or so AngKola or Samser or a couple others would be a good start - ask your question there too (or point here). you can also just hit their main web page and read up.

some of their rugged stuff runs 20+ inches too.

The HI Penknife comes to mind here. It was designed as a light camp knife and it would easily handle splitting logs. The PKs come in at 12" and 13 or 14 ozs.
