Khukuri Review

I checked the review, and it had some very interesting tests done. Looks like a solid performer (although I too, question that ridge in the middle of the handle to be quite a hot spot). However, that pic is hogwash. That kukri certainly did not cut through that trunk in one swing, which implies that it chopped through it. Looks too clean to have been chopped. Looks more like a saw deserves credit for that. If pictures speak a thousand words, that pic is disingenuous.
