Im a fan of the Kabar, with the exception of a Frost Mora, its the lightest fixed blade I carry. I often carry a BK7 instead of the Kabar & if I need a big blade I use either a Battle Rat or BK9. I bought a proper Nepalese Kukri, smashed the bone grips off and replaced with a more comfortable wooden handle. I also dismantled the wooden sheath, painted it, glued it back together & covered in DPM cordura with Nylon web straps & D-rings. The Kukri is good enough to handle virtually anything, as well as being great for chopping, it has a very sharp edge good for finer work & is easily used as a draw-knife.
I also carry a Gerber Applegate Fairbain folder, great little blade & "flicks" open very nicely!
