Forward Curving Khukuri (Posted for Broken Arrow)

Jack, I don't have any firsthand experience, but hearing on this forum how hard a Sherpa works and how thin like a needle a khukuri can be worned out by an average user, I'm not sure body size and well-fedness can mean anything but the size of handle size...just IMHO.

There're so many cars, phones, delivery services at our convenience! And they don't seem to give us time but take it for physical life.

Blacksmiths always say the smaller the man the bigger the hammer he needs. He can lift it up -- some grunting and groaning, maybe, but he can lift it and let it drop and he can get the job done. A big guy can swing a small hammer hard, but a small man can accomplish the same thing with a big enough hammer just lifting it and letting it drop with its own weight -- letting the hammer do the work. Well, of course he's working, too, just lifting the thing, and he'll probably need to rest more often than a bigger man, but you might be surprised what a little man can do with a big enough hammer.

I don't know if that has any relevance to swinging a khukuri or not.

Bill,
So, ok, there's somethibg in the works.....is it a long, smooth arc? Or are these blades that are coming, just modifications of standard configuration?

I asked them to make one such as is on display at the museum. They know it is an arc but we'll have to wait and see what they do with it. The kamis do have their own ideas.
