I'd recommend something bigger for your first khuk. 15" perhaps BAS or 15" AK. Just my opinion.
The 12's are good for general purpose but not for chopping stuff. I still got one though for cutting small stuff.

Pappy "Where is mine?"
I emailed Uncle Bill about getting one. If you pre paid for one then you should get one before they are thrown to the wolves. If one was not set aside for you then I will pass on my chance to get one and tell Uncle Bill to send it your way. Oh I want one but am willing to take one for the team. Fair is fair after all it just wouldn't seem right to me. The offer stands on my end. (man it stings writing that

Sarge, the specops officer I mention from time to time was AF -- one of the toughest (and nicest!) guys I know. His 15" AK has been just where you said, "hell and back." This guy carried it to every hotspot on the face of the Earth for 6 or 8 years. Used it for everything including a knife fight that lasted 5 seconds and used it to disperse an unruly crowd in Lebanon. You'd love this guy but professional consideration keeps me from putting you in touch.

Looks like your hand got better in a hurry. I bet you've been putting hooflex on it.

All gone but stay tuned. I think I see 4 or 5 15" villagers laying out in the warehouse.
ddean,
Just like the old commercial, "I let my fingers do the walking." I used to have an old WWII issue Khuk, but it is no longer with me. I bought it as a child but since the sheath was a wipeout, I never really took it out and did anything with it. At present, I could definately use some tough knives but affordability is a problem (Busse, et al). This just seemed like a good opportunity to get something I could enjoy, and afford.
