Wow, first real Khukris

[chutestrate]

This is an exceptional piece of equipment. I can't figure out why it was sold at a discount other than one of the smaller knives doesn't have an edge to it. It looks like it isn't supposed to from the picture on the retail website. I purchased the 8/21 17 inch 29 ounce Ganga Ram by Shaila Kami.

I have a couple of the Atlantic Cutlery $30.00 "specials", and there is no comparison. Think I'll be getting rid of those pretty quick. Don't even want them around.

Congrats and welcome

That edgeless knife is supposed to be, well, edgeless. It's called a chakma and is a burnishing tool for touching up the khukuri's edge as you use it.

Enjoy it safely

Ganga Ram, good choice! I don't own one myself, but I'm told it's one of the better models for wood chopping.

Who better to chime in on the subject, albeit with unfrozen caveman brevity?
