This weekend I received the 19" forward curving khuk by Sanu. Believe it or not, it was a religious experience handling that beautiful khuk -- it was so obvious that much loving skill had gone into its creation -- and as I let my fingers explore the details of its construction, I felt in tune with Sanu, the kami behind it.
I agree with Jeff, who said that if you don't own one of these khuks, you should. And, Rusty, you were absolutely right when you said, "If you don't feel the spirit in these forward curving ones, you have no soul."
I don't know what it is about this kind of khuk, but it is very, very special. As Rusty made reference to, they have a spirit all their own.
And these khuks are not just for show. I put mine through its paces working on a pile of oak firewood. It performed beautifully, and had its own special "sweet spot."
All I can say is, Jeff was right -- everyone should have one.
And on a final note, as the spirit of the khukuri spoke to me, I suddenly realized something else -- that it's the spirituality of this forum that sets it apart. That this is one place where I can say these kinds of things, and folks understand.
