It's been a while since I've visited here. I keep telling myself I'm actually going to lay down some money for a khukuri, and I never do. There's just too many to choose from! Well, I think I finally will. The problem is: What to get?
I liked the looks of the following khukuris as depicted on the FAQ page:
Forward curving
18th century
17" Chainpuri
None of these seem to be listed on the buy now! page. Are they available? If so, has anyone tried to use them?
Perhaps I will get one khukuri to display for aesthetics and another to use?
Out of the "functional" ones listed on the website, how do these compare:
18" Sirupati
16.5" WWII
BAS
I want an all-around khukuri that can double as hiking / backpacking / hunting tool and a backup weapon in an emergency. Oh, and it can't be too heavy or long, either.
I know this is beating the dead horse again, but can we try once more?
Thanks,
David.
