See more pictures, get much more info on this fine khukri on a special page on my site here.

Thanks for looking!
 
Very impressive. I have no doubt that would last a lifetime of heavy use. Tough and classy.
 
Gorgeous Khukri Jay...looks like a heckuva chopper with lots a style:thumbup:
 
Jay, that is awesome! A big:thumbup:on that one from Sooke!
Still looking............
 
Thats a BIG mofo!!! Nice work, sir.:thumbup:
 
Thanks, guys.
This is one you wouldn't want to drop on your toes, it's liable to lop them off!
 
toes?! I'd be worried about taking a leg off with that bastard!:D
 
Khukri and Falcata are on top of my list of favorite blades, beautiful. I wouldn't have made the blade black because i'm not fan of blackened blades at all, but oddly enough it works for this one. Very nice handle, it looks like it'd fit well in hand. I suggest on your next khukri to lay off the pins a little. That's the only thing I really don't like about it. Great blade Jay.

The client who commissioned this tough piece is happy with the strength and support of this multiple pin handle, considering the knife and handle will have to withstand significant shock.

Perhaps when I make a khukri for you, the handle scale mounting pin arrangement can be adjusted! :rolleyes:

Here's one you might appreciate: custom made for a professional bomb tech (EOD) specialist for his professional use and carry. Lotsa pins...;)

Hahaha Jay, you make a khukri for me, I'm gonna give you one S.O.B to build. No pins at all, haha, but it still has to withstand all kinds of shock. Maybe some platinum hardware, inlaid with diamonds, with some tricky silver wiring on the blade, and file work out the whazoo. That'll teach you.

The Bomb tech knife is nice as well, though I'd choose your black blade khukri over that. Not my style, if you haven't noticed...I'm a bit picky. Surprisingly enough, you're work is nearly always what i would want. Maybe with a few tweaks here and there.

Beautiful work overall Jay.

Thanks, CV, maybe not diamonds, but something with infinitely more pattern like Piedersite from China... I'll save some for you!

Thanks,
Jay
 
Very nice work as always. I enjoy the functional, less ornamented pieces you make as much as the more ornate ones.
