Me, trying to cut myself with a Foxy Folly:

You can find a lot more (terrifying) Himalayan Imports knife videos on my YouTube channel: 1nvrknws (http://www.youtube.com/user/1nvrknws)

Proof of Concept: I suck as a cook!
Don't make fun, I am obviously not the one cooking at home, for a very good reason. The Himalayan Imports Foxy Folly Khukuri did a splendid job and so did the Karda that comes with it. The tragedy you see unfolding before you is all just "operator error" and lots of it! I wasn't trying to make the slices even at all, just trying out different cuts. I think, at the very end, I got the most efficient and least dangerous way of cutting: the 'seesaw cut' (I should trademark that stuff, it's pure gold! :).

Thanks in advance for taking it easy on this clumsy oaf of a goon.

Oh, and if you are going to use any knife for food prep, don't lube it with WD-40 first or any other petroleum-based crap. Use mineral oil only; it's perfectly edible, though in high amounts it might give you the runs :)))) It is sold as a laxative in pharmacies, and that, by the way, is where you will find it if you don't have it.

Specs:
Foxy Folly OAL 17.5", weight 27oz
Karda OAL 6.75" weight 1.9oz
Total weight in sheath: 35.5oz

Keep 'em lubed, one never knows!
