Due to the unfortunate accident with this Museum model knife if you have purchased these Knives do not feel comfortable with it you may return it for a full refund.
 
wow what a fast responce and a great offer, this is what makes buying from HI a safe bet. Most brands would be asking what the user did wrong to imply its not their product but somehow the user. HI steps right up and says you don't have to take that chance.
 
I was wondering if I'm entitled to any money or free khuk for reading the thread about catostrophic blade failure? It took a long time to read, you know.

I went out today and tested mine via every method I could think of and it seems fine.

I put on my chain mail glove on one hand and kevlar on the other. :)

I may have loosened the laha between the bolster and the blade a little by bending the knife back and forth as hard as I could between two tree forks. Didn't bend the knife permanently.

I also beat the flat part and the spine against a tree many times.

Chopped with it a while.

Seems fine to me.

Just an old man's opinion from years of hard work..........

My reply from a previous post that some may have missed.

I think the questionable cracks on this khuk [Ad Astra's ]is nothing more than the brazing to hold the "hilt" on the handle.

That type of connection is ok but NOT designed or intended for hard use.

Blade failure is a separate issue to cracks in brazing.

You cannot or should not expect a large steel handle with a large steel hilt brazed to hold up to heavy chopping / beating. If you want a chopper, use a AK.

I know all the HI is supposed to be atom bomb proof but lets use a little common sense on what to expect from the design and assembling of khukuries. I never intend to use my"stag" handle BGR for chopping. I use my 15" AK for heavy use. I know the stag will crack or fall apart. It is not the kamis fault


Ah lets see, I remember, use the right tool for the right job. A wrench is not a hammer.

Some khuks are for mostly display, regardless of the HI guarantee.

Sam, good points. I may have overdone it, I don't know. See my new post in the other thread today, and I welcome your input.

You are a good man Norm, I meant no offense. Just trying to put things in perspective.

Good form Yangdu... Very good form. You are a most honorable Lady. :)

All the very best,
