kukri

[pbell357]

first time post, hope i put this in the right place. i am looking for a smaller kukri than the normal machete sized. i have a rajah 2, and its about right, but i seem to remember someone, perhaps cold steel, making one similar in size, but fixed, and with a smaller handle. i was not able to find anything on their website, including the discontinued section. was hoping someone could help me out. thanks.

Himalayan Imports. If you want one, get the real thing. Yes, they make small ones too.

that's going to be the advice everyone else gives you, so i'll step outside that mold, but preface the following with the fact that the above is likely the best possible advice.

Other options for excellent Kukris are Busse (killa zilla) and Cold steel (to a lesser degree)

I think it's Ka Bar coming out with a small kukri

Edit: it is the Ka Bar Combat Kukri with 8.5" blade and roughly $70, about the size of the Rajah II

Correct, KaBar has just come out with the Combat Kukri. I love my HIs, but that's just not what I was looking for this time. I wanted something smaller and more "knife-sized". So far, I am very happy with the KaBar.

Here's a quick shot next to my HI CAK...

thanks for the replies everyone. i think i will go with one of the himilayans, the 12 inch sirupati looks closest to what i was thinking.
