typical bush and camp knife stuff
a straight carbon blade is easier for a nooblet like me to sharpen
some say a curved blade is better for chopping; maybe it's just my lousy form, but I've never found it much help, I'd rather just have a blade that is piss-easy to keep razor sharp

however I HAVE found, by using a few different kinds of machete, that the angled handle and added weight of a humped back are tiny changes that add significant power to a chop, so I want that
but not too much of an angle like a kukri or some gollocks, just a bit

ikr?
in any case my /out/ days are probably over so this is just fantasising
