KABAR Kukri vs Ontario Kukri - BladeForums.com
WEBFeb 27, 2010 · The Ontario is 1095, thicker than the Kabar by 3/32 and its shape is closer to a British Officer's Kukri. It would probably make for a better chopper than the Kabar as a result of its shape. The Kabar is 1085, 5/32 thick and shaped closer to a Foxy Folly.
Another "vs" type post: Ontario Kukri vs Ontario SP8 machete vs …
WEBMay 22, 2013 · The Kukri is shorter, so less useful against brush and not as good for "knife" tasks. Better chopper though, but not as versatile.

Kabar Kukri Machete vs Ontario Kukri Knife? - BladeForums.com
WEBJan 1, 2014 · Using as a draw knife, I find that geometry not as good as it could be, in the recurve portion. I can't say which is "better" but for $40, the KaBar is great. The Ontario is made in the USA, and the KaBar is Tiawan, if it matters. Most Khukri's are thicker, the Ontario is light, so swing power is lower than the traditionals.

WEBDec 9, 2008 · Ditto. To that end (and for WAY below budget) I purchased an Ontario GI machete, and a Tramontina 14" Bolo machete.

WEBOct 27, 2013 · Try to behead a cow with a machete and then with a Kukri. Kukri is heavier and thus good for chopping like an axe but more versatile because its blade is longer than an axe.
