Off topic question, I always thought that in Canada you are using the normal units, not these funky freedom units.

I think it's Lorien's nod to "know your market". Pretty sure that Canada does use SI units, but he knows the larger majority of CPK subforumites and fans are in the US.

I'm sure he listens to zed zed top!

Not sure what I'm looking at there... Yes I know, its a big friggin knife! but is that shaped metal or a tumor or, what is the non sanded humpy part?

If you're talking about the back of the blade, it's actually a dip (hard to tell in a pic).

P.S. The HI site's description of their Ang Khola kukri states that Ang Khola translates to something like Back Valley/Back Hollow, describing the depression on the back of the blade.

Bigger than a fuller - I’d call it a fullest.

I'm very disappointed in myself right now

 

[sickpuppy1]

Dang bro. Didn’t mean to piss in your corn flakes or anything. I just couldn’t figure out the shaded area! We good?

I was told not to worry much about making this pretty, as it's just a prototype. One side is at 220 grit now, and there are a number of imperfections that will remain, as much as it kills me to leave them.

 

[Richard338]

Now you're cooking with gas!
Is the big weight reducing depression just on one side?
(I'd like to hear how you removed most of that material...)

Omg I really wanted a light or medium chopper but I love me a khukri!!!!

Cleaner than a lot of not-prototypes I've seen...well done

both sides, and hard work! (which I probably did wrong...)

Bonebreaker spine to save the edge?

NOW it makes perfect sense!! Good lookin hunk O steel. I was thinking with the right handle, it would really cool in a display over the fireplace. But whose kidding who....... I would destroy large parts of my back yard with that bad boy. Probably some stuff that I planted too,lol.
