Khukri The "Gurk"

[Rick Marchand]

Hey hey hey,

Haven't been avoiding you guys. I just haven't been making anything that I consider a "stand out" piece. Not that this is all that and a bag of pork rinds but something I felt needed some attention. Let me know what you think.

I like it big. And that sheath pulls it together quite nicely.

 

[GasMan1]

Very nice Rick. :thumbup: I love the rustic look and the handle looks like it would fit the hand well. Nice looking khukuri.

 

[VanguardForge]

Beautiful. Love the style, and looks like an epic user.

 

[2finger]

I really like it. It's begging to be abused.

 

[stabman]

Looks good!

 

[Bigfattyt]

So cool! I want!

 

[Shane W]

That's a good looking knife!!!

 

[kevin (theprofessor)]

looks solid, for sure. The sheath is very nice, too. The handle looks right, even though it is non-traditional. good job!

 

[MELERIAN]

Not the same kukhri copy. Well done. I guess you chosse the right treatment for 5160 and that's it.

 

[Craig Daniel]

I really like the package, They both complement each other well.

 

[daizee]

Slick package!

When you make a field knife from a pattern-welded bag of pork rinds, I will subscribe to that WIP.

 

[caine]

looks amazing

 

[Lorien]

mmmmm...pork rinds
sweet khuk, Rick!

 

[MHumbyrd]

Great looking khukuri. Does the entire handle have hemp? Or just the braided section?

 

[stabber]

Killer !

 

[Rick Marchand]

The whole handle is hemp wrapped, MHumbyrd.
