This is my interpretation of the infamous Ghurka Khukri, I have always like the design. They always seem rugged and antiqued so I tried to capture that in my design as well, it will not suit everyone but I like to beat my own drum.The balance on these is really good the pommel swell acts as a great counter balance seems to throw the knife forward. Both knives are over 16" long and have a top and bottom edge of 8". I have 2 more that I am working on and then that will be it for the year bringing the total to 6.

Those are cool. Question...Is there a reason the sharpened edge doesn't extend further into the curve of the blade? The reason I ask, is that if the knives were used for things such as bushwacking, that part of the edge on a typical kukri is very useful.

They still put the B in "Bushwacking" trust me, these knives are very functional. You can swing as hard as you like the pommel swell makes it very hard for it to slip from the hand. Another thing to keep in mind is the distance to blade keeps your hand safe and away from any potential dammage!

It becomes pretty hard to grind back that far as well?

spencer....i really like these and for a few reasons.....cool texture near the handle....cool materials for handle.....looks like it could take a beating and i hate recurves.....most khukris if not all i have seen have a recurve edge......i always hated recurves and your khukri solves that problem......looking good and great photos....ryan
