Hi All, Kukri is finally finished. I had hoped to get this done up a long time ago but I got sick and was out of the shop for a few months. I am mostly better and hope I can stay in the shop and get back to making stuff.

I based the sheath on a Joseph Rodgers piece and hope I made a reasonable representation.

The sheath has a felt lined wooden core that has been wrapped with leather. The throat and tip are nickel with a nickel stud and ball finial. The design on the tip and throat is a is a temple the same as the Cho on the blade.

So now for the non-professional pics,

Now off for real pics
Thanks for looking

Lovely kuk! :thumbup:

What's it feel like and how's the balance?

 

[R APPLEBY]

It's very comfortable in the hand, the balance point is just behind the line that represents the bolster.
