Oh man! That looks AWESOME!
Delta lanyard hole
apart from steel and process, this khukuri isn't a huge departure from the khukuris of old. I expect and hope that it will be a well rounded tool, useful for a number of purposes- from ceremonial animal decapitation, to spreading jam on toast, to building a shelter in the woods. At 5/16" thick, it will be a challenge to make it light handling- that's what I'm trying to wrap my head around now. I think I'll start with the primary bevel and get that where it needs to be, then start removing material elsewhere in order to dial in the balance and feel. Then it's on to proto #2. So far I'm very happy with the dimensions, the handle shape, and the profile in general.
Reminds me of the rotary engine design motif used on an RX8.Delta lanyard hole

Ballsy...I always dial in the plunge last.got the plunge cut today
one side has a primary bevel. It was too much work, I need some belts
5/16" is monstrous!

How wide was the stock to accommodate the kinked angle in the spine?
Wow, thanks, I guess I wasn't understanding the proportions, it looked like at least 4" and possibly 5".
there's a 'that's what she said' joke to be made here, but I'm not going to be the one to do it. Serious business here, very serious.Wow, thanks, I guess I wasn't understanding the proportions, it looked like at least 4" and possibly 5".
