I have looked and not found anything on how to forge a kukri. If someone knows of one could they post a link or try to explain it?

If you would fill out your profile with where you live in Ga., I might be able to direct you to some really fine makers that can help. Other than that, heat the steel and hit it while it's hot.

the preform is sort of like a goose head and neck, precounter curve then bevel.

The youtube link is to some smiths in Nepal forging kukri out of truck springs. They use a hot cut tool and a fullering tool
in some of the clips. The little kid is quite accurate with the sledge hammer! Although the guy is using an angle grinder all wrong he does so in control with a light touch. They obviously don't have a horn on their anvil to form the recurve, but hammer on the edge side to control the profile.
