Hey Dan,

Do you still take payment via PayPal? what e-mail should I use?
I just ordered my first two khuks so I'll need to know care and feeding.

Also, do they all need to be re-edged or is that only the villagers?

Frankly, the khukuris don't really need to be re-edged. It's just a performance enhancement and a choice people need to make for themselves.

I do it because there's no way I'll go back to not having one - on a user khuk, that is.

Consider my 22" GRS. Without a convex edge, the edge was destroyed with heavy chopping. With a convex edge, it hasn't even rolled or become dull. Like I said, if you intend to use 'em - you should consider it.

I only requested villagers so that folks wouldn't feel "put-out" in case I screwed up. As far as I can tell, I didn't screw up...

Anyway, I do believe that any khukuri would benefit from having a convex edge for 2 reasons alone:

1 - edge sharpness and durability
2 - ease of sharpening.


Yes! Ease of sharpening!

Just takes sandpaper and elbow grease.
