Its actually just bought because of its look and is not much of a kukuri. The blade is thinner than a kukuri buy a little thicker than a kabar but the major issue its not that but it being steel, not stainless and lighter weight of the metal.
Not saying its crap but not close to a kukuri. I mean you can not use it for cut fat tree branches or anything more than a little chopping. Its strong enough for avg use and thick enough to go through meat and bone.
Its a part of my little acquisition from my village which includes the pair of karambits, custom made to fit my fingers and palm as I wanted it to be small, an inch and half blade made made at "Baghoura", a neighboring village famous for knife making and man its tank for its small and sleek slip joint design. I guess its not in the pic. Apart from this in llI also got those 2 mini trishuls, three axes, the heavy dao with the curved blade and spine. I got few knuckle dusters for friends who wanted it as I don't like the local ones but could not resist a steel knuckles with 4 batman logo on the finger holes.
The best part is they all cost me less than my cheapest imported folder. The khukuri was for 200 bucks after negotiating from 350 quoted.
Shashank.
A knife makes me feel stronger, keeps my temper down and gives me the courage to fight for the right. If I am wrong, don't correct me...
, whenever I am in Kolkata next. Riabaalber, by the foreign market you mean Fancy Market near Khidderpore docks? Waiting to see your collection!
