Pocket Kukri

[cerbera147]

I will have to try very hard not to resist this one 

It is made by Magnum Knives; the 'value brand' from Boker. It is selling for less than £20 and looks really good and useful too 

It does lack a pocket clip but then perhaps it's not a knife to hang of your pocket anyway. Perfect for a lanyard though

So what do you think; will the 440 stainless steel cause problems in the long term?

Good review here

I like the idea of owning one but I'm not convinced that its the right shape for a blade of that size

[jekostas]

I'll be straight up - I don't trust companies unwilling to tell you the actual makeup of the steel they use in their products, even if it's from a relatively well-respected company like Boker.  It costs literally nothing to add one extra letter to a laser engrave or the marketing material and it smacks of having something to hide.

If it's 440A, tell us.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I clocked that and thought it tempting for smurf's and giggles

Like Neil I doubt it'd be a good user though

Is that a Kukri in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me? 

[cerbera147]

Agreed; you'd expect the blade to be more subtantial like the Rajah III


It just looks... um different

Another one of interest is the CRKT Razel

Did you ever get one?

I would lurve a Spydie Captain 


Too 'spensive though and discontinued 

[Sparky415]

I did kind of get one.... almost.... it got as far as British customs 

[Nikos]

... or a CS Spartan!

Seriously; that's pretty smurfy 

[Sparky415]

that's not the word I used
