A new blade in town...

There are moments, when I really love my job... This is one of them! I received a hand-forged sample of a traditional nepalese kukri. And I cant help to admire that craftsmanship! The blade is well balanced and well crafted, the handle made from water-buffalo horns is polished and rugged, the sheath is simple and sturdy.

This kind of knife is a real "chopper", you can take down small trees with ease. Since its made of carbon steel, it holds a fair edge and you can hone it to a razor sharp edge. The backdrop is, it aint stainless, bzut hey, it is a tool, not a surgery intrument!
I highly recomend that knifes for any bushcraft use, although I already "pimped" my blade a bit. I had wrapped the sheath with paracord and also gave the handle a wrapping, next stage will be attaching an survivalkit to the sheath... stay tuned
