It served the water buffalo pretty well in his time before it became scabbard covering.

Of course I'm sure the buffalo is quite happy all things considered, of course the buffalo never had to worry about rust or cracking due to hot and cold weather :D
But maybe he did I won't pretend to know the nuances of water buffalo hide.

It is an HI khukuri and it comes with the standard warranty.

Ah.. my mistake. I did not see it when I went to the page. Its durability is really quite amazing and makes me lean towards it especially after seeing that video.

You might want to consider a KLVUK, which is not listed at the HI online store but appears now and then on this forum as a DOTD. The KLVUK is a good all-around khukuri, comes in reasonable sizes and tends to be much less expensive than other comparably-sized models. The tradeoff is that you don't get a polished or satin blade, but that has no effect on functionality, and in fact has its own kind of rough beauty.

I suggest that you enter KLVUK in the above search box and check out this model. If you like it, you could wait for a DOTD or send an email to Yangdu, who might have one available. Here is one link that can give you an idea what the KLVUK is like:

I just can't ignore the utility of this knife and as a bonus the lack of polish means I won't have to feel guilty about it when I do use it to chop wood or thick brush. I think this is what I'm going to go with hopefully a 16" size is out there. I'm sorry to be a total noob but when you say contact Yangdu that is the person at this e-mail, correct: Yangdu.Martino@Himalayan-Imports.com ?
