Yard work was never this easy...

[SASSAS]

Had a 3" thick branch on an apple tree at my mom's that was scraping against her car when she pulled out of the driveway. Looked at it and said, no sweat, I'll get it with my khukuri. She thought I was kidding.

On a steep slope above my head with other branches preventing me from actually getting a swing, went through it like butter using short little wrist chops in a minute or so... Would have taken more time to get the saw out of the garage than it did to cut it down.

These khukuris can be very useful. What model did you use?

Bura village WWII (16.5 inch, 23 oz.) Advertized as extra sharp.

Right through, then chopped through it again right over/through the stump of a branch. Can still cut paper.

Use the chitlangi to take it down another size.

Not a major test or anything, but first time I've had the chance to use one in much less than ideal situations as opposed to having plenty of space and swinging freely. Makes a hatchet or saw obsolete, though to be fair I never ran through 20-50 practice swings of each basic strike per arm through a bunch of different sized hatchets at night.

I've got a few railroad ties to finish for the yard too. Hmmm, wonder where I left the Ghopte? The gold inlay should give it enough mass to get through any ralraod spikes that are in the way after I use the platinum buttplate on the jade handle to pound them down...

Over the years I've used my khuks for many things and wonder why it took me over 40 years to even learn there were Khukuris on the planet.
