Hello to all:
This is posted in another forum also.
I am looking to purchase one (just one, really) Khukuri. And after shopping and
reading, feel that the WWII model would be
the best choice. There seems to be three
good candidates;
GurkhaHouse WWII L:16.5 Rosewood WT:24oz $79
ColdSteel(fact.2nd)L:17 D:5/16 WT:22oz $170
Himalayan Imp. WWII L:16.5 WT:24oz $125
I would be very interested in the opinions
of the members of this forum as to which one to buy.Price is not THE decisive factor here.
Blade balance is highly valued though.
I've previously owned a ColdSteel ATC, years
ago when they first came out, before they
redesigned the blade. It was a good chopper.
This time looking for a slightly more combat
oriented flavour. Thanks.
