Good morning y'all. I finished this knife up a couple weeks ago, but had been struggling to find time to take photos.

Back in '04-'06, I was really into khukris, and spent a decent amount of time (and money) hanging around the Himalayan Imports sub-forum here on BF. In time, my interests evolved -- transitioning from the H.I. sub-forum, to the Balisong sub-forum (where I started playing with kits), then over to Shop Talk -- but I never lost interest in the khukri form.

This is not a traditional khuk... no Cho, and a long flat grind with no fullers... but, in the broader sense, I think the name still applies.

The price for this one is REPOSTED ELSEWHERE shipped within the US. Please contact me concerning shipping outside the US. Buyer is responsible for determining the legality of this knife within their state or country of residence. I prefer payment via Paypal. If interested -- or if you just have some questions or comments -- feel free to shoot me a PM or email. My goal is 100% satisfaction; so if for any reason the buyer is not happy with this knife, please ship it back undamaged within 30-days and I'll send a full refund.

NOTE: The price above is for the knife only. I can recommends several quality sheathmakers; however, if the buyer would prefer that I build a sheath, I would be happy to discuss pricing.



Some Stats:
Length: 13-3/4"
Blade: 7-13/16" (Tip to choil),
Weight: 350g (0.77lbs)
Steel: Differentially Heat-Treated W2
Handle: Stabilized Figured Walnut w/ Mild Steel pin
Bolster: Mild Steel


Here are a few different images, taken with different lighting techniques.

Funny Erin , I was just looking at your WIP on this knife and here it is . Ask more money , $520.00 is not enough . A lot of work and it looks great .
 
I am enjoying the subtle humor in the first pic. "How to win friends and influence people" with a big`ol chopper underneath. Lovely blade.
 
Nice work! Best thing about your knife is each one has its own story in your Flickr album. :thumbup:
