Yesterday I found the SOG Fasthawk at Walmart for $20.
Keep these in my truck
Yeah, which truck...
I also have a Sog and gave two away for a Karma gift, yes liked them that much.
Something else to think about is the Ku Kri, which will cut down a tree and dismantle the branches but still stay sharp enough to cut vegetables at the table also use as a spatula, fly swatter, after cleaning of course.

+2 on the Khukri Machete; I've seen vids of indians beheading cows with one to two chops with one of those.
That said, which brand is that? I know the true ghurka models for over $100

Good call as that one feels very quick, nice in the hand...well, except for the slippery grip. I fixed that by tying 10 pieces of black kangaroo leather lace into the recessed channels of the handle, providing more friction for the grip and a tactile indicator as to whether the edge or spike faces forward. That plus a wrist thong and an edge hone and it was all good to go.

Big O rings work too but will leave you no indicator .
Honestly, I went to the site Dave MP attached but the handles looked a little uncomfortable and the prices were a little steep but when I got to the shipping costs WTF ? I factored it all in and thought better of buying from them, instead I went to BUDK and bought three for less than one of theirs.

I paid $19.99 for the one cutting a bell pepper in the picture and believe me it is solid. The handle is comfortable, the hand protector works, and the sheath isn't cheap at all. I also got a Smith & Wesson Outback KuKri for $29.99.
