If your brother needs a survival knife that he will depend his life on, I say go with something proven and built for the task like the Ontario Kukri.

Stay away from companies like Gerber, Schrade and especially from the "Genuine Kukri" ones as those can't be trusted for real survival application.

Functional and cheap can be had. Musashi and Masahiro are good candidates for your budget:

> machete (kukuri)

For a khukuri, the various Nepali khukuri houses will have some in your budget. You can buy direct from their websites, or through Amazon (Kult of Athena as linked above has some). Some possibilities:

There are cheaper options (typically Indian or Pakistani made), but they're not as good. E.g., https://www.amazon.com/Snake-Eye-Tactical-17-BKSZ2103/dp/B00F2ISW32/

Then there are kukri-shaped machetes:

and various kukri-shaped knives:

Plenty to choose from.

I don't know anything about Kukris that are actually made in Nepal. the impression that I got was that a lot of them are touristy junk. Like Samurai swords that you find in the mall. That isn't to say that any of the ones that you linked aren't good though.

I have a Cold Steel Kukri Machete. Made in South Africa. I can't find the video any more, but I got it after watching a torture test of the thing. Took a guy like 15 minutes of abuse to get the kukri to a point where it wasn't safe to keep using. I'm talking chopping through steel beams, clamping the blade down and jumping on the handle like a diving board, thing is a tank. I've seen it get below $20 on Amazon.

That's the only one that I own, but if I were to buy another, it would be the Ontario Knife Company Kukri. Made in America. The steel should take an edge better and the handle should be more comfortable. Not sure that it will stand up to the abuse that the cold steel machete can, but you shouldn't ever have to submit it to that abuse unless you're trying to break out of jail with it or something.

Take a look at www.himalayan-imports.com or www.thekhukurihouse.com/ for kukris.

I bought an Ontario 6420 Kukri for clearing brush and chopping through limbs and I'm really satisfied with it.

Split the difference. Get a Kukri. Here is the one I plan on getting after a little research. I normally carry a classic KA-BAR and really like it but a good Kukri would remove the need for a hatchet.

I have been looking at them for a while now and cant find a ton of info on them that are in the under $100 range. I haven't had the money to spend on one willy-nilly but I think I have it narrowed down to two that I'm interested in the Ka-bar and the Ontario.
