Love it!
It was me. lol I didn't actually order it to begin with. I was asking about pricing on building the knife. I got an email the other day saying it was done! I suspect he would be able to sell it if I fell out of the deal. I don't like the notch and wanted a flat pommel. Waiting for my total price with shipping.
Very nice. Looks roughly quivalent to the pen knife in function - a good all arounder. Does anyone know the backstory on this knife? Dont think I have seen it before. The butcap seems similar to some other specialty HI knives I have seen. Wish there were more photos.
I had this knife built because I wanted a few things that I have not seen in most Kukri blades. I also copied a few western manufactures and things I like on my other blades. I believe if the balance is good that this is the ultimate survival knife. I named her Crowbar Kukri after my farm business and software business.
1. It must have a flat pommel for using as a hammering tool
2. It must not have the traditional kukri notch as I can't stand the look of it and honestly I can sharpen all the way to the handle and get a really good advantage on small cutting tasks
3. It must be a 10" blade (not sure if the specs are on but with 13" OAL I believe it is the right size)
4. It must have a hand guard as if I ever had to use it to stab I want to know my hand won't travel up the blade.
TODO:
1. Kydex sheath
2. G10 scales
3. Cerakote most of the blade leaving open a flat spot on top for striking a farro rod and belly of the blade.
