Review: HI Kagas Katne

I just received the KK and the specs are the same from the old thread
http://www.bladeforums.com/ubb/Forum26/HTML/000723.html

However, the quality of the sheath and handle are not covered. The smooth pointy pommel and thick sheath make a cute package. Though the thin belt loop isn't for you SEAL types.

This is truly a pointy paper cutter but for the heck of it, I "chopped" into a dowel and it made a decent cut. As a neck knife, this is a kydex nightmare or challenge depending on your perspective. On the dreaded business size envelopes, I found push cuts with the tip to be most effective.

If you had to attack a renegade yuppie, this knife could take out the eyes in a either the chopping or edge forward reverse grip. I tried this against a box and the stab holes were no joke. In a sense, this is a testament to the chopping power of a full size khukri. This is also my first knife from HI and is a good 'trainer' for resheathing.

Alas, this is not for me but a friend who's getting a letter opener this Christmas. It also passed the liner lock spine test magnificently.
