help me pick a khukuri.

[C.S. Graves]

The "worst" thing about buying an HI khuk is that you can't stop with just one.

Khuks are kinda like dames that way. One just makes you want more!

I keep telling my wife this... Man, she hits hard.

Mine's an expert archer, so I keep my opinions to myself.

 

[MagenDavid]

Shall I fluff your pillows for you gentlemen? You'll want to be as comfortable as possible on those couches.

 

[TWBryan]

Stay away from my pillows,I keep a khukuri under them!

 

[Wolf_1989]

What you do is buy your wife a smaller version of your favorite khukuri so you have a his-and-hers matched pair.

They usually fall for that. It's like, "cute" and stuff.

 

[Carolina River Rat]

I don't think they make a smaller M43.

 

[MagenDavid]

That's an awesome idea. A 15" M43 would be awesome, with a slightly thinner spine, like 5/16".
This is the beauty of dating a girl who's only a couple inches shorter than I. Our "his and hers" matched pair is an M43 for me and a Sirupati for her.

I've been thinking of getting mine a small WWII.

Be damned careful what y'all teach them there wenches about how to use a khukuri, next thing you know they'll be takin yer hair.

Mine hasn't used a meat cleaver in the kitchen since I bought her that 15.5" Chitlangi

Start with one, end up with 50?

Therefore only 43 to go ...

Someday, I'll be the high priest of the Cult of the Chitlangi.

Someday.

Now that is dedication to a specialised form/style/type of Khukuri.

My collection aims are broader based and it is hope to one-day include the M43, WWII, and various Dui Chira's to name but a few Khuk's plus a number of HI knives and swords.

 

[Wolf_1989]

I like a little diversity too.

I think the top of my want list right now is a Gelbu.

 

[b.c.molin]

I think the top of my want list right now is a Gelbu.

Interesting ... I emailed Yangdu about a custom Gelbu Special of 23inches/30ounces late last year!

I did not pursue it as I spent the money I had for on on the Bhariab.

The idea of a hollow forged Bhariab style blade combines many aspects of these two fine blades. That's the direction I hope follow.

Only thing that could sidetrack me is if a standard Chitlangi Bowie came along instead to compliment its big brother!

Ha! I really did lol at that one, Yvsa.

 

[titus010782]

i say go with cold steel, its cheap and effective!

Yup, cheap and effective. Like taking the girl of your dreams out on a first date to McDonalds.
It'll only cost you $1.99 and will effectively end your chances of any further contact with her on any girls she knows.
