anyone know of any closer to home?  


Or better still show me your kukri's  

Oh heinnie's are awaiting stock 

[Sean]

Hey John those are really nice!  I love them.    I have a dream of getting to Nepal someday and seeing one being forged by a local then bring it back home.  More of a fantasy perhaps?    Good luck finding one.
I have a friend who made me a homebrew unit and use it when we go camping.

Here is my old battler.  This is a military model from the early 1900's.

I'm not really a Kukri guy but I seem to remember hearing good things about these chaps.

The shippings not as fast as Heinnies, but they really are THE Kukri guru's

I've only a couple left now, but I've got one of these...


And my all time favourite...



I need more though

[Sean]

Mike,

I really dig that Original looking one!  She's a beaut!

I have a couple of their knives they are bombproof and a real joy to play with I can heartily recommend them

Is that bottom picture of a Cold Steel one, Mike?

[Benner]

It is indeed and it's very nice.  Mike said he'd give it to me one day didn't you Mike? 

[Gadget Guy]

Cold Steal! 

[Benner]

Cold Steal! 

We know you like them really.  I've seen pics of the "I love LT" tattoo. 

[John]

Mike that one in you picture where did you get it   is it full tang construction?  


I also like the cold steel kukri  I can get them for £20 which is great!! I'll get one of those too  

Just need to get the readies  


[edit]scratch that the £20 one is the base model only (Machete)

That pic looks like a Heinnie pic to me so check them out, and that is NOT the £20 version.    It's best I say that now before Mike reads it and passes out.

No it's the original Carbon V, Gurka Kukri And it really is superb

I'll bring it to next years meet, and you can have a play mate

As for the Forces one, yes it's full tang, and is probably the third strongest knife I own

Yours only came with the Karda? The Heinnie link shows both Karda and Chakmak

[kwakster]

In April this year i bought this Camping Kukri from Simon Hengle on Tora Blades.
Through mail he personally gave me sound advice which model would best suit my needs; to have a good quality allround cutter that wasn't too big or heavy and would keep an edge well.





Simon doesn't sell your average run of the mill kukri; instead he regularly travels to Nepal to instruct the Nepalese kami's from whom he buys to create kukri's with a better cutting geometry (read: thinner, but not too thin) and take special care in a quality differential hardening as well.
The result is a kukri that feels alive in your hand, and which handles all cutting tasks extremely well with a thin, but very strong edge that stays sharp for prolonged periods, even on dense hardwoods.




All i can say is that i'm very satisfied with Simon's advice and prices, which resulted in me buying the Camping Kukri from him.
It performs extremely well, and i'm already thinking of buying a second model from him

[Benner]

Just to add to Roberts comments, his prices (to me) seem very low and you get a lot of kukri for your money.

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

Which model do you have Benner?

[Benner]

I believe mine is British Service Issue Pattern Two.

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

Looks like they will ship to the US. I've been eyeballing the Butcher's model.

[Blackout]

Here is pic of my beater.Think I paid 20 dollars for it.
It has been used and abused, but is still holding up well.

Nope mine just had the Karda

Which is fine, as it's a 4 inched, recurved bushcraft knife, instead of the silly little one's you usually get

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Very nice Robert

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

Is Benner's bigger than yours?

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

Where's the proper link to that one then?  

[John]

Some great kuk's guy's Mikes and Roberts are very nice indeed 

Now after seeing them I'm frantically trying to gather funds so I can order one,though for now I may have to settle for the BSI pattern two but it should serve well my needs 

[Benner]

It sure would, it's a hefty old thing.
