kukri cutting test

Andy, that is a nice cut! That's an Atlanta Cutlery khuk isn't it? The blade looks great, although the handles remind me of old gunstocks I have seen. A good clean up with alcohol, and a sanding and refinish and it would look even better.

Are these still being sold?

Thanks,

Norm
 
Omygawd, ANDY !!!

You cut off your FOOT in picture three!!!


Now, that's a sharp blade, you made the amputation without feeling it.









Nice images. Thank you.


Be well and safe.
 
And any researcher willing to use his own body before offering the service to the general public is very brave and decent. That's almost unheard of these days. I suppose the limb will be donated to a museum somewhere.

Nicely done, Andy. Cutting empty containers is probably more difficult than just about anything that I can think of. I tend to just launch 'em into the neighbor's yard. (Also kind of cool, but not really what I'm going for.)
 
Not bad for a kukri that was made in 1919 is it. Though I must admit that is the second bottole as the first was mashed up getting the technique right

It's not my foot in the picture with the pringles tube.

Not bad at all! Andy did you sharpen the khukuri first or did you do this with the original edge?

What?!?!? You cut off someone else's foot and *They* didn't feel it?!?!? :eek: :rolleyes: :p ;) :D
 
The kukri has had a working life in the past. I haven't sharpened it in quite some time though, it seems to hold up as well as any other large carbon steel knife
