Will these Khukuris from this place survive use?  Thy range from $24 and up.  They have an unpolished army model that it says is issued to their forces in Nepal.  It says nothing of the grade of steel used or blade quality or demonstrate them in use on anything.  I don't want a showpeice, I want a functional knife that will survive use and hold an edge?  Any reccomendations under $100 U.S.???  

You just posted a thread on this.

I got one here, I havent used it that much to see how it holds up yet though, Im still using my machte for general chopping of things.
