I also have the Cold Steel Kukri and did have a Trail Master Bowie but a guy traded me an AK-47 even for it so I no longer have it.

I disagree about either of them being better than a good machete. There is nothing better than a U.S. Surplus Ontario machete. Especially if it comes with the self sharpening sheath.

Not familiar with the ontario machete, I’ll have to look into that. Thanks!

Yep. Cold Steel Trailmaster Bowie. I carry smaller knives for more refined purposes but if I had to carry only one, that'd be it.

Got a Randall #1 from my Dad that a friend was horrified to see me actually using. It's too beat up by now to be a collector's piece, though.

Got a little Gerber Epic that I use as a camp knife. Ugly little bugger but strong as it looks and yes, that lanyard hole is a bottle opener. Because I don't want to be marooned in the wilderness with only a case of beer and no bottle opener, that's why.
