I dunno if this is the one you've purchased, but IIRC their lower end model is far thinner than most real khukuris; something like 2.75mm as opposed to nearly 8mm. It's more of a machete (thin) that's just shaped like a khukuri. The weight of the real ones is part of the reason they chop well.

I purchased a knockoff khukuri, like an Indian tourist piece or something, probably made of pot metal or some other cheap metal. Still, it was thick, and after a little sharpening I could chop through a 1.5" tree limb with little effort. It's still not really sharp.... for example, it won't cut through a thick handfull of tall, dead grass, but I'm workin on it <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Use it for anything you'd use a large knife for (batoning, shaving, etc) or a small hatchet. As mentioned in the reply below, you can grab onto the spine of the blade for greater control and use it as a draw knife, or maybe dig with it.

Just be careful and stay safe!
