Wonderful story. I can't tell you how many times my oldest son and I have examined some wood cut from Khukuri. Some of this Ponderosa Pine and Douglas fir gets real hard- sappy areas, places twisted by wind and weather, and beetle bulbs of infestation. These blades often leave surfaces that look machined. The surface is so smooth it is a delight to touch. Does not need sanding- it's finished.
Bill told me once of a guy who used his khuks for woodwork (He'd also broken a few blades and it was through this freak experience he'd come to understand such occurances as a statistical norm. Made me feel better about the couple blade failures I had.)

Much to my sons amazement and mine it went right thru and broke the big plastic turkey platter into a couple of pieces.
