"And now, it's time to hand this over to our tame race axe driver. Some say, he can live in the forest for six months at a time without food, and he knows of a secret tribe of only women where he is their God. All we know is, he's call the Styx!" - TazzieRob

Thanks  :salute:

Now for the big question: Do you think it counts as a Kukri?  :think:

Looks like a Khukuri to me mate  :tu: how thick is the spine  :tu:

In the middle it's close to the full 8mm of the Land Cruiser leaf spring that it used to be.

Worked late again last night, handle is 99% done, it's sharpened, extremely dangerous and I will cut myself doing the last cosmetics  :rofl:

Will try to post some pics lunchtime.  :salute:

I was a bit stupid, paired according the the thickness of the leftover slabs of micarta rather than the colours, brown and orange should've been together and blue & green on the other side

Nice Kukri and well done!

I watched some Scholagladiatoria videos on the Kukri recenly, mostly about the notch etc, but my main take-away from this was I would really-really like at least one, proper antique Kukri some day.
