Fun with my khukri in the sun,
on: May 28, 2012, 07:19:13 PM
I had a result this weekend while at the huge carbooty in the new forest i picked up 2 khukris in not so good condition, well i got out in the sun today and had some fun sorting one of them out, i decided to copy how they cover the scabards the soldiers use, these as far as i know are shorter army type khukri,I had to do a lot of sanding to remove all the rust but i wanted to keep a bit of age to it so left patina, im very happy with it plus not had one since selling my old one in the early 90's , i got that one when i was 14 and had to clean that one up, all in all this has kept my mind of my grandads funeral that im going to this tuesday, well here are some pics,  :tu:
