CLOSED, PRE-ORDER, 12" Kukri

[91bravo]

It is very kind of you to offer that and I really appreciate it. But I will be really gutted if I do not try my chances on this. I knew the risks from the beginning and decided to take it. I will just have to wait and see and prepare myself for a potential unwanted outcome.

Have not got a customs clearance issues with my Behemother but things are changed significantly in the UK since then.

I hope the blade makes it to you safe and sound.

Every time I remember about my kukri preorder, I get anxiety. It's a big knife and UK border control is getting more and more unreasonable. They even confiscate knives which are legal to have. It was a big gamble on my part but hopefully it will be all fine.

Semi serious question. Can't you say it's a religious knife?

That’s what I was thinking. ID as a Gurkha, and claim it’s an important part of your culture.

“Well, you don’t look like a Gurkha…”
“How dare you!”

I didnt know till a short while back that Digwa was carrying 2 knives. The kirpan remained unsheathed and he murdered the kid with a Pesh Kabz. Not that the kirpan cant do damage....

That's an interesting point. Perhaps I can if it comes to that. Hopefully not as I do not think it will make any difference from customs point of view. I did some asking around before I got into the pre-order and there is nothing suggesting it might be a prohibited type of knife, but UK customs known to confiscate non-prohibited knives before even though it never happened to me.
