My 16.5" WWII and 20" Sirupati have been used to clear trails, chop fire wood, split wood and so on. Even used the WWII in the kitchen. Makes quick work of Ribs and frozen beef. 
I think the trees are starting to fear me and those khukuris. Helped the forest Service extend a trail a few months ago. Had to go threw a grove of Scrub oak and Maple. The Sirupati made quick work of it. And this was a 30 foot section of trail. 
My 12" AK is used as a general purpose camp knife the same way a Bowie would be. Does some chopping, a little digging, bark removeal, food prep too. does a nice job on bones and such.
Have a 15" AK I use to chop down small trees. It has a 1/2" thick spine and weight in at about 2 pounds. Deffinantly a dedicated chopper! Though I have used it to dig small trenches before. 4" wide and 6" deep for gardening purposes.
