About a year ago I bought a Gerber sawback machete and the flimsy blade left me wanting something more substantial so I just took delivery of the Gil Hibben IV Machete Knife. I usually steer away from movie replicas but this heat-forged 1090 carbon steel machete, which measures 16 1/2" overall with a 11 1/4" main blade, is truly impressive. I haven't taken it to the field yet but I can't imagine it breaking or wearing out in my lifetime. For my hands the handle needs grinding down and rewrapping for a more ergonomic grip. Perhaps you should give it a try and post up a review! Thanks for your informative, real world review of the Ka-Bar Kukri.
