Khukri??

I'm thinking about getting a Khukri as a fixed bladed backup for my SAKs/MTs.
Here are 2 possibles:

Any experience with these?

And some condemned for a fault alone." -William Shakespeare, King Lear (1608), Act IV, scene 6, line 169

I'm afraid I've no experience with either of those so can only advice you on that pattern
Personally I'd go for the Angkhola as there usually a stronger, more sophisticated design (proper wood cutting bevel's ect) and would make a better wood's/survival knife imo
If you want a traditional Kukri, then the best I've come across are the Tora range, and I can't really recommend them enough...

And my personal fav...

But if you want the finest Kuk out there, then hunt down a Cold Steel Carbon V Gurhka Kukri, as that's the finest knife of any type I have ever used
Hope this helps mate
Give in, buy several Farmer's!!!!!!

Mike's the guy to advise you on Kukri's, I have one but I only walk around pretending to decapitate my minions with it.
Both of those look pretty sweet.
I'd be inclined to go with the Angkhola as well if I had the choice.
I'm back!!

You can buy direct from the Tora website they are cheaper than Heinnies and will ship to the states
