Greywolf -
Khukuri House puts out a pretty product and from my understanding it is genuine. I've got one but never subjected it to field use (that's a huge warning flag there). The steel is mild so it'll take a good edge but won't necessarily keep it, and the hilt is horn (water buffalo, if I remember correctly) so I don't know if that would last without cracking. Regardless, the hilt is carved in such a way that it would likely require a little filing so that it didn't blister your hand while chopping.
The sheath is decent quality leather but probably wouldn't hold together very long if being torn at say, while crashing through brush.
My urban carry: Leatherman super tool (mostly), RSK Mk 1 (sometimes), and a Res-Q-Me.
Field carry: super tool, RSK Mk 1, Cold Steel SRK, and a Res-Q-Me (sometimes). Rather than an hatchet (I differentiate between an axe and a hatchet) I usually carry a high-quality folding pruning saw.
