Full Tang?

[mc5aw]

For all the information I've gleaned on this forum, I estimate it would take a very purposeful and hearty effort to compromise a partial or full tang in 3/8" - 1/2" for any of the HI blades. A full-through tang seems to be near indestructible.

you have learned your lesson well, young padawan.

Can he talk like that? Padawan, might have to look that one up. Maybe translates to grass hoppersan.

a padawan is an apprentice jedi knight. seemed appropriate for a forum devoted to what are essentially steel light sabres. at least the HI blades cut like a light sabre.

p.s. - the star wars films have been playing every night hereon tv, for the xmas week.

I knew that.. I was just checking to see if anyone else did.

I much chiruwa handles. I came for the increased strength, but I STAYED for better balance. Non-chiruwa khukuris have a much more pronounced weight forwardness whereas chiruwa khukuris are more neutral in the hand, and thus more agile and adept.
