We have a medium sized maple out front that suffered a little storm damage and had a smallish limb that was cracked about half-way out. Perfect opportunity to use the khuk (18" AK).

Wife: Put that thing away and go get a hatchet or saw.
Me: No. Watch. CRACK
Wife: Oh my God, I can't believe it cut completely through in one shot.

Limb was about 1.5-1.75 inch diameter at the base.

Now you need to get your Sweet Wife her very own 15" AK. The very first khukuri Uncle Bill sent me was a Shop 1 15" Ak and it was a tad too small for me so I gave it too my dear wife Barbie. She loves it but generally grabs a villager to work with, says the Shop 1 is just too pretty too use.;)
 
Rich,

Yep, now's your opportunity! Now you need a camping khuk, a brush clearing model, one for high branches, a small one for just backpacking, a different one for heavy chopping, etc., etc.

Just be careful with that thing! and be sure to read the safety thread if you haven't already. Cut off a finger or other body part and your wife may not continue to be so understanding, and you'll be back to that boring saw. :eek: :D

Awesome. My wife still thinks I'm a nerd. But my neighbors leave me the hell alone. So, its a wash.

I was thinking about going down that road, but you spared me the trouble. Thanks. :)

There's nothing quite like the look on someone's face when they ask you to chop something down and 5 minutes later they ask when you're going to do it and you just smile and say, "I'm done."
