Well, something big and Infi was in my PO Box today.

First off, thanks to the StealthHogNinjaProxie who scored for me. He shall remain nameless, unless he chooses to reveal him self (at which point, start watching your backs, because if he tells you, he will probably have to kill you!!!!).

Anyway, I got a Jungle Green/ quilted Tan KZII.

But when I went to take some pics.............

What the heck?

Hmmm, Scuffs and is that bits of wood?

Some finish missing at the tip.

Family shot.
Bought the B11, so I was up to 5 again. Then sold two (Ash1 CG and modded SS) to cover the money I had spent on the KZII (keep the wife happy, after all she did let me buy the B11 for my B day last month).

Spine shot of the KZII and the FBMLE

Bear with me, I know these are terrible fuzzy shots.

When I pulled the KZII out for the first time, I thougth, hmmm, that is funny, I could have sworn the blade was going to be longer than my B11, and especially the FBMLE.........it really did not feel bigger when I was holding it at all. I guess it is a smidge longer though.

I guess I can't complain about the finish. It was nice and pristine when I took it out of the sleeve. BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT STAY THAT WAY LONG ENOUGH TO EVEN GRAB THE CAMERA FOR SOME GLAM SHOTS

I chopped some stuff on "accident". Sure blew some chips out of that 2x4, and may have been chopped into some stumps repeatedly.

The tip finish may have suffered from a morbid curiosity about how it would work for stabbing.

Very pleased.

Now I just have to order half a cow to make a sheath for it. The B11 used up the last piece of leather I had that was big enough to cover it.

I had a few out door pics, but they are on my mom's camera (stopped to check the mail on the way over to hang out with the family, and go to delicious Sushi.....mmmh).

SO THE PROBLEM WITH THE JUNGLE GREEN FINISH IS IT WON'T BE LONG UNTIL I REALLY GET IT BEAT UP AND THEN START THINKING CRAZY THOUGHTS ABOUT STRIPPERS

Good question. I think I need to spend a bit more time with the KZII until I do that. One thing about a Khukri, I think there is a bit of a learning curve on using one. Proper technique, and hitting the sweet spot.

Maybe I will have to do a three way between the KZII, FBMLE, and the B11.
 
It is always a "good sign" when you are using the knife "before" you remember to take the pictures ..... great score :thumbup:
 
Sweet looking KZ...... THat color combo is not available to order.:thumbup:
 
I promise mine will see use once I get out of the city. If I feel empowered by simply holding it then I can only imagine how Ill feel after destroying things with it :D
 
I was eying some logs in front of my brother's place. Nice long straight ones. I guess I better check with him if they are for building something, before I chop them up!
