Looks like you have two or three that will get the job done!
I try and draw the line between knife and machete...
I see the 'Bowie' style knives that start to carry too much blade in the front that move between knife and machete, and I try not to cross it...
No real reason, just personal preference.
A larger, thick back 'Bowie' style knife is my 'General Purpose' tool.
If I need to chop something really tough, I get a rock or stick to hit the back of the blade with,
(Those $1,000+ hand made knife guys just cringed! )
But it also has to be small enough and enough curve in the blade to hide out game, and in some cases, small game!
I buy 'Off The Shelf' because they are cheap, and I don't feel bad about beating the crap out of them when I need to use them 'Hard'!
(or have the girlfriend loose them!)
