Cold Steels most expensive knife is a $699.99 kukri:

They also sell a $34.99 machete kukri:

and a 'kukri plus' machete (with a finger guard - good idea) for the same price:

Anyone believe you can do 20 times as much with the expensive one?

Dougs advice about not using a hatchet in a survival situation, unless you know what you are doing, makes a lot of sense to me. So they are all off my gear list.
