Kukri Arrived!!!

I just want to thank Blade Forums and Craig of the Gurka House (sp), for the Khukris that I received last night via UPS. My wife is used to the dainty little knives that I normally have and use and when she called she wondered if this one was a used one? I told her nope, its a real USER!

Man does this thing chop! Whack off a branch, it was in the way of my mail box you see, it was about wrist thick with one swipe. My daughter said `Hey, you didn't even swing that hard' I chuckled and said yeah....

Thanks again, this is the knife that `Uncle Bill' selected my number in the knife of the month contest.

Didn't come in a box with instructions, wondered what the little knives in the back of the sheath were for, one has an edge and the other someone mentioned it was a flint striker? Anybody know for sure? Do I need to pick up a piece of flint and carry it along with the knife?

I don't have a solution,

But I admire your problem.

The non-edged one is the chakma and its mainly for burnishing (steeling) the khukuri. The other small tool is the karda and its used just as a small knife.

Thanks Cliff, That makes more sense, I was all night hitting the two little knives together to make sparks, quit laughing out there, I can hear ya, ya know!

I'll have to try that burnishing thing, but it might be a while cause this thing is very sharp and didn't show signs of slowing down after the little workout it had last night.

Gary,

I can tell that Chiro is correct by the crazed look in your eyes. Remember to keep plenty of firewood or scrap wood handy, or the chopping urge can be terribly destructive to the household furniture.

Gary,you`re done for now. I started out with a Bhojpure too,now I`m on the list for the GH WWIII and a 20" AK can`t be too far behind that. Of course then I`ll need a Suripati anda mini jungle to round out the collection. LOL!
