I feel the Izula and the 1911 stand out from the rest.
People like you are an inspiration to other knife enthusiasts.

Moin, that's beautiful! It must be fairly heavy with all of that steel, and I suppose that the weight would give its striking qualities a hammer-like quality?

Wow! That is one sweet blade.
If you dont mind me asking, where/what do you use these heavy khukris for?
Lock, Stock and Barrel.

Hi Timmy; Thanks. It is fairly heavy, i guess the weights a shade more than a kilo. Given the forward heavy blade geometry of the khukri design the weight would add tremendous momentum to the blow, more like an axe or a large cleaver. in the hands of the brave and tenacious gurkhas these are absolutely lethal.
