Khuk history question for John Powell

[JDP]

Maybe the "squatty body" is a copy of N2s example. His is obviously a knife of much higher quality. I still don't think this any particular style....just a short, sturdy chopper.

John;
Thanks, that was the one I meant. It looked better for thrusting than chopping so I wondered what it was.
"squatty body" is about right and had me laughing at work.
Thanks for putting up those pictures from your collection, they're fun to look at and I keep seeing one I hope the kamis make.

N2s;
Thanks for your input, that's one wild looking khukuri. How well is it balanced?

Where is that information that you got on the WW2 Sarge? I'd be interested in seeing it.

It's a good solid compact knife. The sweet spot is about 3-4" from the point.

Speaking of "squatty bodies." When I was in Jr.High there was a gal we called "Bureau." A short little thing with drawers three feet wide.

Had a Great Personality though and didn't sweat much fer a fat gurl.
