>>1094017>Is a kukri a good substitution for a hatchet?Yes.
But only if it's a good Khukuri.
Not a tourist one, and not a thin machete style.
Good ones, like the type made by Himalayan Imports cost much more than a decent hatchet.
There are a lot of bad ones made in Nepal and India. Most actually, are pretty bad.
>>1094378Not at all. The reason is Western Khukuris are more like machetes.
Nepali Khuks are thick and heavy.
They are made to chop wood same as hatchets and they do it at about the same efficiency.
