Are you guys telling me that it's not a sight for throwing? Because I was just about to praise the Salyans for their superb peephole match sights...

That explains why I keep cracking those carved horn, mountain elk and stag handles when they hit butt first... I wasn't using the sights. I thought they were defectively balanced.
The cho is in an area of the blade where it somewhat weakens it, especially in a chop or twist, it also makes the blade flex a bit more but considering the usual thickness of kukri blades the difference against a no_cho blade is neglible. If the blade is tempered soft enough - as I have understood the case to be - the actual effect on strength also is mainly theoretical.
For all practical purposes its effect on vibration damping is nil, cho itself changes vibration properties a bit because of the effect on stiffness but again the effects should be so small that one can forget them.
