Kukri

[Newanderthal]

Just got a new toy. I designed it and the khukuri house made it. It's razor sharp, slices like a knife and chops like a hatchet.

Thats looks cool. Have you used it yet? How was it? How did you come up with the design?

The blade is modeled after the one from AngPana
Khukuri House - AngPana for Jungle

I didn't like the handle shape on that model, so I requested the handle from SiruPate Special.
Khukuri House - SiruPate Special (Hunter)

Instead of a horn handle, I requested rosewood.

The blade dimensions are a little different. My blade is a little wider and a little longer than the AngPana blade.

I've chopped some 3" branches in half with one swing, so it chops well. As far as sharpness goes, I can hold up a sheet of paper with two fingers and make a vertical slice about 6 inches long without any tearing. I've chopped up some pallet boards and even used it to split some small pieces of firewood. It's like a hatchet, a skinning knife and a machete had a baby.

It's a great cutting tool.
