Is anybody interested in blades only?

O.K. lets start with one for Bura GRS blade for now. I will try and do the blade justice with the handle and sheath. So far the GRS has been a joy to use.

The GRS blade style is really efficient for chop. It's probably better than an Ang Khola for felling. The Ang Khola is probably a better splitter and has a tougher tip than the GRS though.

That's the only khukuri I have 2 of!!
The only thing that concerns me about this model is the very thin edge for knife this size.
A person could concieveably chip out the blade on hard wood while using a chopping twisting motion to clear out chips.
It's just knowing your blade and its possible lmitations.
You are so very right about it being a good felling khukuri!!
The GRS penetrates better than any other blade I have!!

Yvsa,

The GRS is great, it works well as a felling khukuri. I prefer the Mega Salyan when I can drive up to the tree (which is not too often, unfortunately). I believe the GRS was recommended by you for this application.

The edge does thickening is more gradual than my other khukuris, which leaves less steel about the edge. My conventional knives such as the Mission MPK or MD even have less steel about the edge but they do not pack anywhere near the power of the GRS. I have not chipped or dented the edge yet but I have not taken on extremely hard wood. I will keep an eye out to see how the thin edge holds up. I suspect it will roll rather than chip as the blade is not terribly hard. How has your GRS held up?

This was the way I had hoped my Mega Salyan would have turned out. The wide blade would have allowed the edge to thicken very gradually. I'm not complaining though. The extra mass makes up for the thickness around the edge in my opinion.

While I have not danced naked with the GRS, I have waved it around in my bathrobe.

Uncle Bill,

By the way how will I be able to tell it was Bura's blade under all the rust and rough finish?

Will
