New chant: KhukRat

These two are lonely, they could use a rodent friend

If you make them, the purchasers will come.
Well, they'll probably swarm, but that's a minor point.
I still want one. Anorexic and Res-C for preference
 
I would like one too, probably same design as the Killa Zilla (but slightly lighter) but with more affordable materials. Perhaps S7 :)
 
I liked my KZII but ended up selling it because of the sheer weight of the thing and a fierce hot spot by my pinky. It was a good chopper but frankly tough to swing after a short period. I much prefer my Cold Steel Ghurka kukri for general use.

The problem with the KZ was that is maintained its thickness from spine to blade and handle to tip. The damn thing was bombproof but at a cost. A Swamp Khuk would be killer if it tapered in the same manner as the CS with differential heat treat and res-c handle. Maybe a bit more bulge on the belly of the blade but that's a minor thing in my mind.

That being said, bring on the Khuk!

It would certainly be nice to have a knife that you could take when you go backpacking. Khukris are good at placing the weight where it's needed to chop.
 
Make a SW Khukri! I will get 2 or more! I have a bunch of Rats and I love em so please please please please please make a Khukri!

That is all,
