Using a kukri I cleared out about 8 acers of thick green Viney briars , underbrush and lower limbs of trees turning the property into something people like to slowly ride down the county road and gawk at , especially during the fall foliage period . I have two Kukris but my usual go to one is the exact image of the one used on the movie " water world " . It is not the sharpest of the my two Kukris but is the ruggedest . I have seen those for sale in a catalog spelled something like " Burduca " . I like the thick ruggedness of it , as my ground is covered in rocks and occasionally it will accidently hit a rock as I chop . My other kukri is a " Bo Grizz " addition . For self defense it would be my favored over the two , as it wouldn't surprise me if it could chop off an arm in one swipe .
