Got a new design in the form of a Kukri. I have played with Kukris in the past and this is an evolution of my earlier designs. It is 17 7/8in overall with a 12 1/2in blade from 3/8 5160. I used some black/blue G10 for the scales although the blue doesn't pop like I'd like but it does still look good :) Not a fun flat grind to pull off but totally worth the effort! I can hardly wait to see how the other two turn out but I had to stop work and let my hands and forearms recover. I am quite happy with the feel on this one. It's big for sure but still far from too big. Very happy with the results :D

That is the most utilitarian Kukri I have seen. Beautiful work - thanks for posting.
