OK, if you could have only one HI Khukuri and one folding knife to along with it--what would they be???
 
Oops - forgot to put in my khuk preference.

Here's my vote reworked:


YCS + SwissChamp XLT
 
well... considering that the khuk is for more heavy duty stuff... and the fold up is for all purpose utility..

id say some sort of AK or WWII (length to your preference) and any of the gerber/leathermen or equivalent knife..

if however you are swooping down through windows in under the darkness of night id say a kobra (preferably the smaller ones) instead of the AK/WWII ;)

one bad thing about my chiruwa is the weight pulling down on my belt... i really wish that someone found a way to mount the scabard on my back or chest or somwhere else that the weight would seem displaced on my body better...

if anyone can enlighten me it would be greatly aprreciated.. :)
 
a lot of multitool/ swiss army knives out there as reccomended secondaries!

when i first found the bladeforums i thought my victorinox wasn't considered a 'proper' tool, judging by the wilderness survival area and folk suggesting that "it would be their $400, custom made, hi-steel X folder for everyday carry, or nothin' else!"

Snarlin Stef Uncle Bill wrote somewhere that he has supplied khuks to some ppl who carry them concealed in sort of shoulder holsters. . . of course you're talking 12" siru though.

This is how I would do it. You might have to add a balloon or two depending on the size of the khuk.

Nope. Just trying to fool those who would try to do phychological profiling from drawings. :) Besides, who can be dour with a few helium balloons in hand.
 
Pen Bruise is smiling because as you can see in the pic, he's lost some weight.:D

As for khuks to carry, 12"AK forget the folder, the AK will take care of everything and then some what a Swiss Army knife could.
