After many years of wanting a Khuk, and many years of looking at sites I finally discovered this forum and the HI site.
Then came months of reading what you guys said, pouring over pictures and finally asking questions.
I finally narrowed it down to two models that I was after the M43 (thanks wildmike and carolina river rat), and the YCS khukri (thanks Yvsa).
Well after findout the prices I opted for the M43-although was slighly worried about the 18 inch length and the heavy weight as I am only average height and weight.
Anyway I was waiting for one to be available, I talked to Aunty Yangdu who said none at moment but wait a couple of weeks. Well that was fine but I knew that if i waited I would fritter away the money so i paid for it and waited, still no joy, then after a few weeks Yangdu told me that a ycs had arrived but still no M43's and did I want that instead - she sent me a photo and wow, it was a done deal!
Anyway it arrived last night. Amazing - definitely a floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee model.
17 inches, 28 ounces, and now one less tree in my backyard...
