Cold Steel's Barong machete has an 18-inch blade and is 24/24: 24 inches overall length and 24 ounces of weight.

Best bang for the buck in its size class AFAIK.
It's been with me for 40 years and regularly punched above its weight. In my gear it quickly replaced an 18-inch machete AND a 6-inch belt knife. It's partner was either a Swiss Army Tinker or a first-generation Gerber Multi-Plier.

Looks good for its age, dontcha think?
My father taught me well on the use and care of edged implements, including machetes and other choppers. He also taught me several tricks and techniques about how to use them to maximum advantage.Not so many scars!
I like the sheath! it is straight, you don't have to unbutton it, unlike many kukri sheaths.
You just described the sheath of my dreams!The knife is held in by a slight friction, and the swivel joint sits exactly on my hip joint
Then take your kukuri, those pics, and your self down to a shoe repair shop and see whether they'll make you one!You just described the sheath of my dreams!
