Plenty of time mate and sometimes luck, I picked up 2 ww2 mk2 khukuri's many years ago for a tenner for the pair,they needed alot of work but I enjoy that  just try to avoid the tourist stuff

  Still rockin' the Scourge. People seems to get nervous when I carry it in public. So would like to get a backstrap (like a mini backpack) to put it on and walk around Walmart with that on.

  Don't have a secondary belt for it yet...    ... and it is so heavy it will pull my britches down.

Well I'm pretty sure I still need to learn a lot about kukris or khukris or which ever is the right spelling. To me a 12" seems to be a good size for just about everything when paired with a smaller, slicer blade (remember that I'm gonna do that Mora experiment?) even during the winter months.

Surplus military belt? Actually if you're game I'll take a look if I still have an old Yugoslav military outer leather belt (the gun and gear belt)

Yeah 10inches is around my smallest but a solid 9inch still does the job,most older khukuri's are around 12-13inches but not as thick spined as newer kuks, so my 10inch sirupate feels as good in the hand as a thinner older 13inche kuk,  I generally prefer traditional looking khukuri's but that's just me ,there are alot of cool looking kuks out there

Is this gonna be another Alox and Mora situation where once you start you can't stop?

That looks good man! Nice job on that one. I am also glad you didn't manage to break the blade on this one.

Sadly I didn't have enough leather to Finnish the scabbard today,but I cleaned the blade leaving some patina and perked it so now the butt caps tight and sharpened it  got bored after so made a little sheath for a neck knife I got last week
