Large Survival Type Knife

What about this Cold Steel Kukri Machete? £25 from Heinnie

(Image removed from quote.)

I love mine. I find it infinitely useful in the garden, at the campsite, and while defending my family from brain-eating ghouls.

There really are few knives/machetes that can top that Cold Steel kukri dollar for dollar. If the sh*t hit the fan, I'd want that with me. No doubt.

Why is it that when it comes to half naked women, the good half is always what's covered up?

Wait a second.. there's a sword in that picture? Huh.. look at that. Didn't notice.

After taking a wrong turn geocaching the other day I now see the benefit of these Kukri's and Golok's 

I think I'll look to invest in a cheap beater

With the money you save you can buy some sandpaper to do the handle (oh and you will need a grinder aswell)

As I have said before they are great but you will need to regrind the edge and rub down the handle
It can be the first thing you work on in there Mate 


New shed Mmmmm

Loepis that Golok is  the handle looks very nice  .

I have no need for a BIG knife but I had to have a crack at this Mora  ;





It went for $32Aus/$29us I missed out on it   , nice knife though.

[loepis]

Thank you MultiMat,
Also with your Mora...it's a good knife..
I have Mora 911 Carbon steel, nice knife though.
Btw, what's happen with your Mora edge?
Maybe you need to reshape the edge.. hehehe

It's ok I tried to win it on Ebay but missed out , yep the edge has seen some 'use'  .
The seller missed an opportunity they could of described it as "Ultra rare Mora 'partially' serrated blade" 

[sergemaster]

Amici,
I liked my Mora # 2 so much, I went ahead and picked up a # 3 that has a 6 inch carbon steel blade.. The overall weight is like a feather the the extent, I can comfortably wear it as a neck knife with no complaints which is great for bushcraft..

Cheers,
Serge
