Uncle, forget the khukuri, how much do you want for that 2-foot lighter?

------------------
"President Clinton learned there were 100,000 cattle guards in Colorado. Since Clinton was so upset with ranchers' protests over his grazing policies, he told U.S. Secretary of Interior Bruce Babbitt to fire half the cattle guards immediately. Before Babbitt could proceed with the President's wishes, Colorado representative Pat Schroeder intervened with a request that before any were fired, they would be given six months of retraining."

Uncle, if you happen to have one with a hardness over 58, pls send it to me. Otherwise I would like to wait.
 
Bill, how long are the handles on those. Im trying to figure out how many fingers I could fit on there.
 
:
Josh the handles on mine are 2 1/2" long.

And Shengq the 54-55 Rc on these are plenty hard enough even for me who likes the harder blades as well.
That makes them easier to resharpen and they are the same hardness of the Ontario Bagwell Bowie Knives.

They make nice little letter openers and can be used to whittle with quite effectively.
And I think it was Dan that actually chopped a left over Christmas tree in two with one. There's a post to that that Dan made somewhere on this forum.

They are great little knives for gifts as well.
And last, but not least, they will make a formidable self defense knife if held in the palm of your hand with 3 1/2" blade extended out between your fingers, at least that's what I get when I hold one like that.

Sold out again!

Handle is 2.5" on the one I measured.

Sorry, oi, no karda or chakma with these -- or even lighter!

I doubt that we will ever see one hardened to 58+ Rc. The primary function of these is to open an envelope. Thus, kagas katna (paper cutter)
