Khukuri Pictures from Mount Rose Forest

[Yangdu]

The area we were at when we cut the log is off Mount Rose Hiway in the forest along Galina Creek. The tree limb we cut was a 6 inch thick Pondarosa Pine that had broke off during the winter.
Enjoy the pictures!

The winners of what?

And...that would be the whole point of 'staying tuned.'

The "cuts" in the wood look very precise, and clean. My chopping is chunky and uneven by comparrison. Very nice pics, thank you.

I noticed that, too.

My chopping skills are pretty inferior by comparison. I need to work on that.

Great cutting with that little 12!:thumbup:

 

[Myal]

probably a dumb question ... but how comfortable is the handles on those knives when you are chopping ?

Then again, remember that she's probably been handling a Kukri longer than all of us combined. . .

I think it had to do with the lamb.

Great work...love the clean chop!!!

The clean chop may be due to not using excessive force, and a good eye.

It is more difficult than it would appear to relax and not swing too hard.
When you want it done fast, you pay.
