Hey, I'm still patiently researching, trawling through all the HI forum old threads, reviews, and that really good Khukri FAQ that Bill links to on his signature, to find which Khuk is gonna suit me best. However i've been running into a small problem - your abbreviations!!
i've slowly figured loads out, but some still baffle me like BGRS for instance and YCS.
If theres anyone thinking of updating that FAQ anytime soon, a glossary of abreviations would certainly not go amiss.
If anyone wants to offer a little advise of their own, i'm sorta chosing between a 15" AK, BAS, Chiruwa AK, . I wanna find out a bit more about the 12" AK too.
I'm after a real all-rounder at the 15" or smaller end. primarially its gotta chop, so the AK seems a good choice, but how much slicing can you do with one of these? would a BAS be more suitable? I don't really want to have to carry loads of knives, each for its own little job when i'm hiking/camping or on excercise (British infantry). Looks are, of course, important and the lighter and smaller Sirupati family aren't really 'phat' or beefy enough for my taste. The concept of the indestructible Chiruwa really appeals to me, but actually thats probably getting more towards the 'useful for chopping, too heavy for anything else' end of things?
any help appreciated
