Hey Everyone, haven't been on here in quite a while. But with all the use my Ang Khola got the week after hurricane Ike I just had to come say Hi and post a couple pics.

The day' after the hurricane My Girlfriend and I limbed and chopped down most of a tree that was leaning against my house. Then we moved to the other branches that had come down in the yard. Over the next week I visited all my neighbors yards, chatted and limbed their branches, leaving the really thick stuff for after they figured out how to get gas and chain sharpening for their chainsaws. Everyone who saw and tried the Kukri was blown away at how well it performed.

My Chiruwa Ang Khola is 18.25 inches long, easily over 2lbs and has a nice darkish wood handle... dont remember the exact weight and wood type when I purchased it a few years ago

anyways, here are the pics!

and some of the medium size branches to be saved for firewood!


The Camera batteries didnt last much beyond the first day, we were out of power for a whole week!

I'll try to remember to take a pic of my CAK as it is now, all scuffed up, a couple tiny dings in the blade, well used and loved as a blade should be.

Thanks HI for an awesome Knife!
 
That's one is a good pic showing what a good khuk can do. that part you've almost cut thru looks to be around 7" diam???
 
no damage to the house at all, just to the trees around it. not everyone in my area was so lucky, I know a few people that had trees go thru their houses completely...

Put some shoes on? whats the fun in that? I live barefoot any time I'm not at the office...being barefoot on the roof allowed me to feel the traction using the bottoms of my feet. http://barefooters.org/ check it out


I think that big branch was 8-9.

then lower down right next to the trunk it was 10-11

It was a ton of chopping, and I enjoyed every minute of it, but man the next day my hand was sore and even a little swollen by my thumb and heel. so didnt do any big chopping the next day...
 
Yea, she seems really into it, choping away

You better never cheat on her man, who knows what she would chop off you :D
 
Cool pics. Glad nothing was too terribly damaged. Girlfriend looks like she's takin out some serious anger on that poor innocent tree limb.
