Khukri??
on: July 05, 2009, 03:09:52 AM
I'm thinking about getting a Khukri  as a fixed bladed backup for my SAKs/MTs.

Here are 2 possibles:

Any experience with these? :think:

 Some run from breaks of ice, and answer none:
 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 :tu:

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.  :D

Both of those look pretty sweet.  :tu:  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
