I just got my first HI Khuk this weekend. First of all, what fast service. Thanks a lot Uncle Bill.
Second, the Khuk is beautiful. I have to embarass my self and admit I'm not even sure what model it is. I think its a WWII 18" (although it seems shorter than that).
Third, it sure does work. I took it out and cut down several red sumac trees that have grown in the back over the summer, up to about 4" in diameter. It worked amazingly. Much more natural and accurate than when I tried to use a hatchet.
I did ding it a little on the end when I hit some rocks I've read the sharpening FAQ, but what angle do I use the chakma at? Does anyone have any pictures showing how you actually do burnish\sharpen the blade.
Thanks for listening.
