The loop on the bottom of the sheath is a tie off spot. Allows you to put a tie arround your legg. Keeps the blade from flapping against your legg. Fixing a crack in the wood or in horn, fill the crack with thin superglue, let it dry, then sand even. Great blades,! Thanks for the review!
Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to make a review! So glad you're happy with both your knives. You have a very calm and soothing voice- it makes for a very great tone for the review overall. Would love to see more. As for your questions-The loop on the end is for a cord leg tie if needed. If a khukuri handle develops a small crack often rubbing a small bit of pva wood glue in will help seal it. Keeping your blade regularly oiled is a great preventative measure too! Send me through some close up pics of the crack and I can make some more detailed recommendations for you. Take care, Andrew
The good thing about Kailash is that they offer different lengths for the handle. If one has large hands 4.75" or 5.25" might fit better than the 4.25" handle.
Thank you for measuring the spine! I like seeing details like that. My Mk1 is about 9mm at the spine (and 730 grams at 13" blade length) and I also got the performance grind. I wonder what the variability is? Despite the thickness though and the overall size of the blade, it feels pretty good in the hand. The distal taper I'm sure does a lot for it. It's got some heft to it but it's not tiringly front heavy either like some other makes I have. In terms of feel, it's definitely where I'd want a "heavy" chopper to be.
I am highly impressed with the chitlange..I want one....that is a self defense blade in Texas ..edc...the power in the front two thirds of the blade is incredible ....I'm sure.wsit I want the kukri...wait ok how about two knives ....
I’m sorry mister Terry despite being right on western straight knifes, the curved traditional kukri will hold strong and firm to its handle even 200 years after use with PARTIAL tang, not even rat tail. Partial is suppose to be weaker. Look into it ! And hold a real kukri yourself. I’ve used mines for several years. Cheers ‘

Absolutely beautiful knives! Just ordered myself a Mk.I! Can't wait to get it!
the loop on the tip of the scabbard is for you to tie it to your leg with a cord preventing it from moving too much when wearing it

Both looks amazing
Absolutely beautiful work on the Chitlange!
Much appreciated! if you've got any questions about our blades feel free to reach out.
Absolutely beautiful

Great informative review! Enthusiastic and sincere. Absolutely beautiful blades! Thx!
I like both knives but the chiltlong is breathtaking
I like them too- they're beautiful.
I got the 16 inch chitlange, with a extra guard in there can’t wait
Great to hear! How are you enjoying your blade so far?
@@kailashblades good man, its a nice blade.
What is the price of kailash blade which is 13 inches long?
Which grind did you go with for that MK-1 Fort William model?

chitlange会轻吗？

What will be the price of delever in India in Indian Rupees?

What is the difference between these two??

So light you'll wonder if it's even on your belt ;)
How much was the custom?
Where did you get the stand?
The loop is so you can tie it around your leg
Where did you buy your display stand from?
Also from Kailash lol
In regards to maintaining your wooden handle RUclips:- "Timothy McLaughlin" on his channel you'll find a recent video on this matter.
Oh my good 😀
How much frist 1sir

Be warned - after buying kukris, guy stopped filming piano videos. Hope his fingers is still intact ))
Both have Rat tail tangs which causes handles to be more likely to fail if they are actually used. A full Tang is more useful but less traditional.
Yeah with shit knives from shit blade makers. But rat tails have been used forever to good effect. Some prefer a rat tail tang because of the balance.

I wouldn't buy shit from kailash. They ripped me off for a 200.00 custom padawan
This ended up just being a shipping delay, here's the resolution here.
