Christmas deals for 12/12 -- Pix, Uddha Sword, YCS and Awesome Buys

[Skyler R.]

I'd be interested in hearing about this as well as the history of the Bonecutter.

Bonecutter came about due to a kukri called the bonecutter that would come up for sale by an idividual who would bring kukris back from nepal, he would only sell a handful at a time and rarely has them for sale. It is considered by most here who own them to be the best choppers due to the wide edge bevel and more weight forward then some other styles. HI made theirs based off of some examples that people own around here.

If you do a search in the forums you should come up with a number of hits with pictures of the non HI bonecutters.


Here is a post from another forum about the bonecutter that has pictures. http://forum.ramanon.com/showthread.php?t=43539&highlight=bonecutter

Good sharkin Murdock. I had a Bura YCS that I gave a friend as a gift in thanks for an act of kindness. I miss the feel of that blade.

Enjoy it.

As per the Uddha sword, I'm not sure where the name comes from, but folks have pointed at that potential influences on the pattern are the salawar yataghan and khyber knife.

This information shows why DOTD threads are required reading.

They are not just the pretty pictures of new blades, or good deals for those with money to spend, but rather threads where such nuggets of ethnographic blade knowledge can be found.

Thanks C.S. for the post.:thumbup:

+1 on that. Thank you.

Thanks gents. The Uddhas are a joy to hold in your hand. If you're like me, you may not find a practical use for them, but I'll be damned if it wasn't worth every penny!
