The infamous triangular box was waiting for me when I got home from work. I understand now why so many people said that the Gelbu was their favorite khuk!
Since this is only my second HI khuk I don't have nearly as much basis for comparison as do many of you. I do know a fantastic deal when I see one. The blemish was a 1/4" spot of rust toward the tip; hardly worth mentioning.The knife feels great in my hand. It feels light and is well balanced,not nearly as blade heavy as my BAS. The Gelbu gives the impression of being primarily a weapon and secondarily a tool. Oh yeah, it also makes a VERY intimidating "whoosh" when it is swung!
The workmanship and finish is flawless. The edge is actually pretty sharp also. I really could not be happier.
Tomorrow I plan to ambush some unsuspecting honeysuckle that has been plauging my fence line!
