I have held the Ontario and KaBar. I wanted to like the Ontario more, because love their other blades and it says, MADE IN THE USA. But I give the slight edge to the KaBar for handle size and balance. My SOG was $20, these are list price $99ish and if you look around $50ish. They are double the knife and very nice. Either are a great choice for $50.
For the authentic Kukri, Himalayan Imports has a very strong following and some guy named Tora (but is not as easy to deal with per se or have inventory) EGKH is the next tier for authentic and can be found on ebay. It is not advised to but from the other "houses" so I have read.
I am very impressed with that KaBar /Ontario, they are more than double the knife in size weight etc. About perfect for a elk hunt or truck knife for clearing and small chopping. Great camping tool.
Thanks guys for the feedback.
