Ayo gurkhali !

hi all,

this kukhuri was built on order.
it´s light and maneuverable- more a fighter than a tool.
balancepoint is 1,5 inch in front of the wrought iron.

for the clip I want to give credit to jason knight-
my customer saw his ´kukhuri to rule them all´ and insisted on a similar detail-
so I changed the original design and integrated a swedge, but with a more upswept nose.

W1 differentially quenched
wrought iron
ebony

lenght 38cm / 15 inch
blade only: 25cm / 10 inch
thickness: 7,0- 5,5mm
weight 530g / 1,2lbs

thanks for looking!
gerhard

That's a FANTASTIC Kuk!! Would look great next to another special Kuk I have in my possession...

 

[Huntsman Knife Co. LLC.]

Wow!!

 

[Wulf]

Wow - that is the coolest fuller I have ever seen on a khuk! And the recurve and the raised clip are truly sublime. Really cool interpretation!

Whereabouts in Germany are you located?

 

[JAlexander]

Gorgeous.

I want to chop something with this thing. Nice work.

 

[Erin Burke]

Very, very cool. I'd really love to see your process for designing, carving and fitting all of those curves. That fuller is sweet... but leaves me scratching my head.

Gerhard

I was speaking today to another maker and I brought up that I have not seen to many Master Smith Khukuri's

To do a properly balanced - fullered Khukuri at a MS level is very difficult

Than I log on tonight and I see this wonderful interruption by you ......... TRULY a wonderful piece congrats to all involved

Jason is hopefully going to have a one off variant of is Masterpiece for Blade Show

 

[Mike Quesenberry]

Damn!! You do some incredible work.

 

[The sharpend]

Fantastish kuk there lovely fuller some work in that alone.
Would grace any kukhuri collection .
Live the up swept point and would sharpen the top portion to increase its effectiveness .
Although a back sweep with a kuk is not that easy .
Love it.

 

[keithf]

AH thats better! Wow thats a beast. I'm loving your work Gerhard. Fantastic.
Cheers Keith

 

[SBranson]

That's something else!! Amazing work.

I really need to stay away from this forum. The work you folks do is absolutely amazing.
This blade will haunt my dreams for quite some time I think.
