Kukris and British golok machettes

[roblarson]

I have been trying to find a fairly cheap genuine kukri, Atlantic cutlery corp sell for $25.99 with cert of authenticity. But I am in uk so cannot obtain. Also I am trying to obtain a british army Golok machette.
If you know where to obtain either of these items please email me

I think it will be unlikely you will be able to find a cheap real British issue khukuri. The price of these knives are over inflated due to collector demand.

Don't look to closely at the documents that come with the Atlantic cutlery khukuri. These usually do not match the piece of steel in front of you.


Check out the village khukuri's on the Himalayan imports forums for excellent working khukuri's. The performance characteristics are better than the real thing. As a bonus the handle is sized for western hands.

The BAS from Gurkha House is supposed to be made in the same shop as the military khukuri's. The guys in the Gurkha House forum will be able to give you much better information than I can.

If your willing to take some chances check out ebay.
