Ka-Bar Knives 1280: This heavy-duty chopper gets its shape from its older sibling, theKukri Machete. At about 80% the size of the larger version, the Combat Kukri performs just as well at clearing brush and small tree limbs, yet is a capable tactical knife. Its smaller profile makes it a little easier for toting around - at just shy of a pound, it\'s a more appropriately sized tool for combat carry as well.
