IMHO carrying knives in airsoft should be for a reason. I carry a swiss army knife for utility purposes, and a fold out, black-bladed hunting knife for quick gear modifications(straps tangled, or spur of the moment goggle modification) and other situations where the basic swiss army blade doesnt do the trick.
Generally large blades like the Khukuri arnt a great idea in airsoft because they dont server much purpose and aside from being in its sheth, serves no purpose other then looks.
I have played in games and have been doing ambush scenarios and have allowed the enemy to get within arms reach before eliminating them. Last thing I want is someone to pull out a large blade and start clearing that bush....especially that bush that looks somewhat like cadpat.
"oh shit"
"what?"
"I was clearing some of that long grass with my machete"
"yah?"
"and it turns out there was a ghillied sniper in there"
"oh....I dont know you"
also, I have seen tempers REALLY flare in some games...having really large blades isnt always a great thing.
