Mods if this is in the wrong spot feel free to move it...
Allways wanted to try my hand at these just never took the time. Constructive comments are welcome along with embelishment/Finish ideas.
Suggestions on what type of grind I might try are welcome, this is a Convex Grind Pre-HT. Have four more to grind so put your ideas here soon ;)

Good place for it.

I realize a kukri does not need to have a traditional handle, but I would worry that the finger choil could become a hotspot with such a heavy chopper. Maybe widen the swelling at the butt instead.
 
Actually rounded the top of the handle quite a bit from the original design to give a smoother chopping motion. Pinky hook may need to be adjusted after the handle is in place and it gets tested...
Your right Esav I will try that.
Won't take long to figure that out... Soon as the first blister starts
