Mini clip Point Khukuri! Like a tiny scourge.

[Kailash Blades]

Bit of an interesting one here! 7" mini khukuri with a sharpened clip point, s guard and full length full tang white rosewood handle.

These are all small things that we can add to a blade without needing to charge full custom costs. When they all combine on a blade that's sized like this it really makes for a unique looking blade don't you think?

While we might not be taking any full customs right now, it goes to show what kind of unique works can be created through a series of smaller modifications. Maybe it even gets your owncogs turning!

What do you guys think? Is the combination of all these different features a big thumbs up?
Or it all too much on such a small blade and end up looking a bit of a mutt?
Take care,
Andrew and the team at Kailash

I think the sharpened clip point kukri blade looks excellent.
What other traditional designs do you think would look good and perform well with a sharpened clip point?

 

[Kailash Blades]

Intense clip points are a little hard to integrate visually but naturally pair very well with recurved knives. I think that a lot of the times a regular false edge can be integrated without much negative impact to the aesthetic or cutting performance of the blade.
Some examples that come to mind would be the yataghan, khyber knife (T spined blades that could be moved to a T ridge in the centre) as well as bolos, barong etc (broad hacking blades where a small portion of sharpened back edge would help a lot with penetration)

My question was not clear.
What traditional Kailash designs would work with a sharpened false edge?

 

[Kailash Blades]

Ah! For the traditional models it's probably a best fit on the blades which have broader and beefier tips to starts with. Everything pretty much apart from the salyani, chitlange, mutiny, maybe pensioner is getting a little lean. We could do these blades but it will require beefing up the spine a touch to ensure the tip is well supported at the central ridge. Our angkholas (including pensioner) would also need the fullers rearranged a bit to create space fora bevel at the rear.
