Not a special request, the choice of metal is, the end cap goes over the tang end which extends through the handle and hold everything together. It’s a very nice blade although a tad tactical.

@@ShelleyRaskin Ah. I wonder if they made a change since you had yours made since the Mutiny online doesn't show a rear bolster. It's been what has made me hold off on ordering one. If you don't mind, could you explain what you mean by "tactical"?

They will make it the way you want if you take to the guy in charge, just email them and they can make it. The blade is long like a sirupate but with more curve and a nice fuller running the full length of the blade, it’s definitely more of a fighting blade as opposed to a utility blade, my Pensioner feel like a utility blade with fighting options being a tad wider and shorter this feels more like a fighter, would not like to dig a hole in the ground with it as the Nepalese do with theirs.

I hear you, I do like it, and will try dremmeling (real word?) the frame a little, if I could get some washers to enable the blade to come out one handed I would be happy, do you have the original sheath or have you a different carry method?

A2 is a semi stainless steel, roughly 5 or 6 percent chrome if I remember right, it can be quenched or air hardened, I opted to air hardening as I was a bit worried about it warping in an oil quench, also Dr L Thomas, recommended air quenching so I followed his advice (phd metallurgist).

@@ShelleyRaskin Ah, thanks for clearing that up! Never seen it actually done. Appreciate it!

I keep it consistent the whole width, I suppose you could keep a section full flat instead but I would probably need to tape a section then go back and finish that bit off. Yes 18 plus 7.2 at the edge, doors not have to be 18, I could have made the initial angle anything abut always with 7.2 added, although the sell other angle adapters beside the 7.2.

@@ShelleyRaskin Thank you, sir!

You are probably right, they do call it a martial version, despite the name it is a hell of a handy blade for western hands and cuts very nicely!

@@ShelleyRaskin It's simply not an M43 by any stretch of the imagination, I've had several genuine ones over the years. In the Kukri world anything about 560 grams (give or take) would be considered a utility Kukri. They really should call it something else.

@@simonhengle8316 Your boys make truly accurate, beautiful replicas, the Mk1 you made me is outstanding (and heavy) - but (here it is), I do not think your heat treatment is very good (it may be accurate), the Kailash guys make better working blades, it does not matter to me if their accuracy is not as perfect as yours if they perform better and are better to use in the bush (I do not use them on people); the second point I make is for my western hands your Mk1 is not comfortable, I have to hold it very specifically or the knob on the back hurts my hands, so too does my Heritage Blades Papu khukuri, but all my Kailash blades feel good to swing and chop with. I do love the look of your blades but for a user then I am sticking to Kailash, maybe less historically accurate but great to use.

@@ShelleyRaskin How Kailash blades heat treat their Kukri (of which I'm well aware of) is up to them and absolutely fine by me. You have quite simply missed my point, and that is it's nothing like an M43 so therefore should be called something else. As for the traditional kettle method, it hardens the edge perfectly fine (contrary to what their website says), and I've encountered no problems with that method with my Kukri, and of course I like to keep the traditional method of making Kukti alive and kicking, as much as possible. It is interesting to note that the Japanese smiths still quench their nihonto in water, and their traditional method produced far better results than the Shingunto oil quenched swords. I have no problem with Kailash blades, I just ask they used a different name when the Kukri doesn't fit to the name given. ruclips.net/video/0b42jDBZ-R4/видео.html

I sharpened it, it did come sharp but not too my standards, not much does to be honest, I used a Russian Tsprok03 with Japanese diamond stones and kept a convex edge on it.

That’s a Russian made Tsprof K03, it’s a fantastic piece of kit, works on small folders and big choppers and everything in between!

@@ShelleyRaskin Thank you.

@@LabiaLicker thank you

That’s the longer one, the head is identical, just the wooden handle is longer.

He's got the XL, he says in an earlier vid.

@@rebdomine1 alright thank you

This is slightly smaller than a normal version the blade is 32 cm or about 12.5 inches long, it’s also a lot lighter and thinner but very fast in the hand.

Definitely become my favourite axe, so versatile!
