I had one when I was auditioning to be an extra Klingon on Star Trek.

I had one around the estate for years very handy for a wide range of chores whether Klingons are about or mere vegetation discipline.

My biggest error was forgetting to oil it after a heavy afternoon in the brush one year.....it's taken on a camo-rust texture suggesting it is really unhappy with my oversight.......

I like the heck out of some Kukri's! I recently gave my best one to a friend in Montana.

Can I be your next best friend in Orygun

One thing I do know is the Khukri will take uR shoulder off at the knees.

I still have the one that my dad got in the Phillipines during WW2. I'll have to dig it out and get a pic.

Pics would be super neat.

A Khukri in the PI? Who'd a thunk it. Did not know they'd spread that far. Maybe some Brits or Ghurka's were around? I have a Bolo and a Barang that my dad brought home from Mindanao, Philippines, in WW2. He said he traded the cigarettes from his C-rations to some Moros for them. He was a non-smoker, good trade I think.

They need a bit of repair, the grips no longer stay on the blade tangs . I could pot them in epoxy but would be open for suggestions on more traditional methods.

I remember going to a garage sale with my mom about 30 years ago and there was a huge collection of knives and one was a khukri that I really wanted. She did not buy it though.. said it looked.. used..

 

[Camelfilter]

They're super knives!

Mailed my Dad one from Khathmandu a decade ago. Keeps it oiled and displayed on there mantle, alternates it with a Japanese sword, sometimes both are up.

Hey Sarge keep them you deserve them but if you do get rid of one I'll be the big ugly one waiting in line!!

One of the few non heirlooms I couldn't bring myself to sell a few years ago...

From Nepal and custom ordered with micatarta handles - if the paperwork is real.

I have one British G.I. that I paid $30 for at a Montana gun show. The other is a Cold Steel full size carbon v. I also have the original box and a sheath that is plastic or kydex. I got it in 1999. I have not used the Cold Steel one at all. I have experimented with the cheapo, splitting wood and using it to strip bark. I would like to put a new handle on it so I can get some experience working on blades.

 

[DunRanull]

A khuk with a 12" blade works for me.. my personal favorite has been a British arrow-stamped Dehradun 1944. While it isnt fancy, it holds an edge and is differentially-tempered. The original sheath has long since kissed it so I made one of saddle-grade leather which will outlast me no doubt. Purists question the correctness of calling an Indian-made khuk a "real khukri", and the same would be said about Cold Steel's makes.. I would like to get hold of a CS "Ghurka Khukri" just to play around with sometime.

 

[Wombat of Doom]

I have an original signed antique one. I would love to get someone to read the inscription on the blade spine.
