This nifty tool by Holeb is truly made for the bushman. The Holeb Bushman allows you to chop, saw, dig and split (firewood) with a 440 stainless steel blade that is guaranteed to last for life. This is one tool that is well worth the cost.

The first time I saw this, I wanetd one, but them I noticed the digging end was a novel idea but the anvil end – for using a baton – is close to the digging end. Aside from the handle, there is no safe place to grasp the implement, so you're either digging with a long-ish implement held in one hand from the far end, or digging with very small removal of material per 'stroke' and poor leverage. The only thing is has over a machete is reduced guilt over ruining an edge near the tip. I use the $20 combination of a plain old 12" Ontario machete (for lack of the golok I too cheap to buy) and a small but sturdy folding "e-tool"-ish shovel in my pack.
gah… I need a spelling and grammar checker for web forms… The first three sentences should read:

Dont like it. NO POINT-NO KNIFE!! While the primary function may be a survival tool, the underlying truth is that it may at some point have to be used as a weapon. Therefore if it has no point it is not a proper knife. Add it to a tool kit or a chuck wagon but as far as being a feild knife, I dont like it.
Neat, but forget the wood handle – must have an unbreakable polymer handle, possibly with a good pommel for crushing/hammering stuff.
The Knife you all want is the Wilkinson Sword Dartmoor Survival Knife.
Sweet!
This is my next survival knife.
Kabar makes a much better Machete however this is not just a Machete, this is a Jungle survival tool, the flat head has it's purpose, which I forget. That being said, I agree with the first guy. I'll take my KABAR BK3 and a military style E-tool.
