very good stuff
it's easy to buy knives but it's better to use it well.

When I first started using my GRS a few of my strikes were deflected or caught more towards the tip than the "sweet spot". This caused the blades inertia to pull it in the direction of the swing.
Having a 3-4lb khukuri that was sharpened by Ysva (his hair popping, spine tingleing, mind numbing, full convex scary sharp) missing your knee by inches is not a nice feeling.
With large blades I find that safety is paramount; a steep learning curve is to be expected and necessary.
