One Khukuri To Rule Them All :) Jason Knight

MOHD

When I said mine, I was referring to the blade that Jason had originally made for me

2010-08-16195314.jpg


Now don't get me wrong I'm a big HI fan just sent Auntie money for a BDC but this blade is nothing like a Gelbu Special

Not in the least. When it comes to feel balance etc its very different ....... I have a Gelbu Special and its a great blade but this piece feels more like my DUI Chirro which happens to be one of my favorite Khukuri's from HI

This piece actually inspired me too talk to Jason about the original project and what made me insist on the fuller s

And yes I know that the DC has two fuller s and the one that he made me has actually 4 , but I am speaking about feel and balance

Both Khuks this new one and my own both have sharpened clips something neither piece we are discussing has.

Again im a big HI fan and have bought plenty but It in not very fair to compare this piece to anything from HI. It is two different worlds and to compare a 100 dollar blade to a couple thousand dollar blade is not fair.

It would be like taking a HI sword and putting it against a high end katana from someone like Howard Clark or Phil Hartsfield

Congrats buddy, it's an incredible piece to say the least and I'm usually not to much of a jealous person but on this one I am :)

Joe, Planning on Saturday at this point. Tons of obligations at work and personally so will hit it and probably can't stay that long but will be there.
 
Rob call me around lunch time we will catch up



Folks I think I can get him to make 10 and they will all be the same no options.
 
Wow, impressive to say the least! Lovin' that blade! Joe, put me down if this project comes to fruition.

Oh my! Don't get me wrong JOE!
I'm not comparing between the HI's and Jason's at all!
There's a vast of differences between those two in terms of the technology of the making, the steel used, the total design, the heat treatment technique, the finishing, the feel and the balance, the pricing etc etc.
I know most of that and that's the main reason why it's very very improper for anybody to compare HI's against Jason's!

Actually what I'm just trying to do is to categorize the model of Jason's khuk and that's all!
Where the basic feature in Jason's khuk is an ek chirra!
And one of the ek chirra in HI is Gelbu Special!
And I did mention that Jason's has enhance features (i.e. the sharpened clips etc)!

It's just like to categorize a knife either it's a South Western Bowie or a Scagel or a Nessmuk with enhance features!
Is it wrong to say that one of Don Fogg's knife is basically a Broken Back Seax?
Is it belittling when I say that one of Al Pendray's knife is basically a Keris?
Is it comparing if I say one of Wheeler's knife is basically a Golok?

Please Joe, Jason is a great knife maker and he's a MS!
I'm not belittling him at all and in fact I'm hoping to get one of his works one of this days!
Please Joe, you are a great collectors and you have all those great knives made by great makers like Bagwell, Fowler, Burt Foster, Shiva Ki and many many more!
I'm not belittling you at all Joe, please!

Anyhow if you feel that my postings (i.e. the previous and this one as well) are improper than just let me know and of course I can edit it back and no prob!
Serious, no hard feeling at all on my side :)

No no please don't take my response negative in any way I was just saying that yes the original project was prompted by one of HI's great blades and now I do see your point about clarification and I agree whole heart-idly.

To me all the greatest Khuks have fullers and please no worries :)

Btw half are gone :)
