Hello Shelley. You have done an awesome job on that kukri!! How will you use this kukri? Will you be cutting firewood with it? You know-camp tasks? Just wondering. I love the kukri myself. To me, its a weapon first and foremost. A sidearm. A gentleman's weapon. Lethal. I personally would not use this kukri in hard use situations. I have other tools for cutting wood. That is one hell of a kukri. Its a keeper. Thanx for sharing your experience with this kukri.
No, it’s a tool first, it could be a weapon certainly, but I will use it for brush cutting, camp chore, food preparation, firewood cutting, all manner of tasks, I believe that’s what they are for, I prefer them over machetes for my use, some prefer machetes and I get that, to be it’s a tool and this is a gray user tool!
@@glenh4971 "A grey user tool. How about a "white" user tool? I'm thinking this is the Khukri for me. At 75, I'm thinking that light, easier swinging blade may be a joy to use and to own. Have you said yet whether it is a 14" or the 15.5"? I love the way it goes through those branches. have you used it on anything thicker yet?
@@craigcarroll6161 Kukri's are special chopping and cutting tools. I like them. However, for working in the yard, some people might say they are expensive. Sharpening them takes practice because of the curved blades. Try a machete also for branches. Buy a cheap machete and sharpen it with a file. Then use wetstones to make it super sharp. I have some nice kukri's but I don't use them to cut brambles. That is what machete's are for. Camp axes are nice to have also and not hard to sharpen. Learn to use a file.
@@ShelleyRaskin Yeah some of the kukri designs are maybe mainly weapons, but most are more just tools. In nepal kukris are pretty much all they use for all kinds of work from camp knife tasks, hatchet work, and even the really big ones to decapitate farm animals for slaughter

@@ShelleyRaskin It is your kukri. I think you should use it the way you want to use it. I am interested in seeing how that goes.
