Treking in Thai jungle

[Gingerman]

Do you know where to get one of the long handled utility knives?

 

[Ultraman]

Hi, Ultraman
The first reason is the knife sharp edge is V grind. For cutting and chopping Bamboo the convex grind better than V grind. The second,bamboo and wood are blunted Cold steel and Gerber sharp is quickly.

The picture show you for my e-nep knife sharp it use for my trip in the jungle

Understood. Thanks for explaining! Excellent posts, btw. I admire the design of your country's knives.

bro, your pictures remind me of my days in exploration here in the the Philippine jungles; crawling under bamboo poles while walking along a dried creek bed. even the river shots look familiar and the boar tracks! it's as if a bulldozer dropped it blade and scoured the earth.

i would also comment that southeast Asians rarely use axes and hatchets in the jungle. they use long knives of varying lengths and edge bevels to handle different material:

slim and thin chisel-ground knives for soft brush and lianas
deep-bellied chisel-ground golok choppers for bamboo and soft wood
sturdy full-tang or peened convex edge machetes for chopping hard wood

Nice pics, khab.

I like the thai knives - I use my boonhoome Thai enep that I got from Devilki very regularly, although it chipped a little when my friend hit a rock . it's light in the hand and perfect for my bush bashing. Not sure how it will fare against heavy hardwood, I think my edge is too thin - it was sharpened by me more for clearing brush/bamboon/thorns.
