Ghurkas sharpening their Khuks before the battle. If someone would have a better quality pix, could he send it to me? Thank you.

But the khukuris don't change much.

Why does a khukuri always seem to look bigger when someone else is holding it?

Kinda like the end of a 12 Gauge Shotgun barrel...it looks huge when you are on the wrong end.

I would love to find one of those sharpeners. Any clue as to where I could?

The Guy on the sharpening wheel in that last picture seems to hold a Khuk that resembles an M43. Very steep curve.

Again, nice pictures!
