Choora!!!

[Bill Siegle]

I recently finished up my own version of the Afghan Choora. It’s a dagger designed with armor penetration in mind. I had been re-watching a zombie movie and it occurred to me that a Choora was an excellent design for that type monster. It’s got a secure grip, offers deep penetration, and with a tapered blade easy extraction. The originals have a T shaped spine for a strong structure. I lack the skill and patience for that so I went with a full thickness spine almost to the point. The scales are black G10 and the blade is 1/4in 5160. The bevels are flat ground. The blade is about 8in long. If zombies or enemies with mail armor(or zombies in armor) attack, I’ll be ready

Like a hopped up fillet knife.

I’m sure many folks experienced this firsthand trying to invade Afghanistan.

If this is rude please delete but would a “choora defeat a bullet proof vest if it didn’t have the ceramic plates in it?

 

[Gravelface]

Yes, unless it’s stab rated specific. Jailers get stab proof vest. Ours only good for munitions. I’ve taken quite a few and put pocket knives / fixed blades. Of all types right through BPV.

Not yet available as I’m waiting for sheath material delivery. The blade is about 8in but I’ll post exact measurements when it is finished and posted
