If you want a Khukri with a handle made from modern composite/laminate handle materials like Micarta, g-10 and the like, I suggest buying a Blem with a cracked then replacing the handle. This way you have the best of both worlds.
Good advice. I had a *blast* refinishing my KLVUK. It was almost like getting a 99% finished "kit", and getting to do the fun/easy part of making it personal, unique and pretty myself.
