khukuris cont.

Due to the results of the testing, I put in a new order to Nepal, and it was primarily composed of the WWII and another, heavier model that is the same length as the WWII. These two models will hopefully solve the "handle too short" objections that many of you have had. Of course, the Service Number One will always be available for those of you who prefer it (especially given my inventory of them). I think that the heavier blade will also solve the bending problems found during Cliff's test. As for the occasional chipping that has occured on a couple of the knives, I am pretty sure that they are flukes that, if encountered on future knives, can be rectified by my lifetime warranty.

In all, I am pleased to be a member of this forum and learn from people who know a heck of a lot more about knives than I do. Thank you to Cliff Stamp and Will Kwan and everybody else for giving the new guy on the block a fair shake. I hope that my khukuri's performance will provide an affordable option for those who can't pay the big bucks for a khukuri. In all, I think that given the price difference, my knives are worth while.
 
This has been a popular thread which I find gratifying.

Words mean little. Results mean everything which is the reason I have stayed out of this thread until the facts were in even though I was reasonably certain what the outcome of the testing would reveal.

For those interested enough I invite all to the HI forum and the thread called, "I told you so."

My most sincere thanks to all the testors for their impartialness, thoroughness, and willingness to contribute to the pursuit of the truth.
