"This was a Christmas gift for my son. He was overwhelmed. He was not bouncing around delighted. He was sitting quietly in disbelief delighted. Awesome!" - Lawrence (5/5)
"This knife is now the favorite of my collection my only criteke is that one of the excessory knives on the back of the sheath rubs against the back of the Kukri and the kukri sticks to the inside of the sheath unlussu pull away from the curve while u pull it out" - Sam (5/5)
"the handle of the blade was a bit misaligned " - Seamus (4/5)
"Good quality and sharpened properly" - Rick (5/5)
"What a weapon! It will be a fantastic camping tool for clearing away brush." - Kenneth (5/5)
"Exactly what I expected." - Guy (5/5)
"Note if one wants it sharp, and one doesn't have a belt sander and the skills to thin out the primary bevel, one should order it using RELIKS sharpening service: I'll be sharpening it myself eventually. It is an accurate reproduction of Indian and Commonwealth WWII military issue Kukri, but I find that the forward section of the handle is very thick and round and question the period military design board who didn't seem to understand ergonomics very well in my opinion !
I sort of fixed that by thinning the handle a bit between the mid-handle wooden risers and the forward rivet by hand carving and sanding it to a narrower more oval shape. If one holds the handle near the end of the handle with the index finger in front of the wooden riser it feels OK on the unmodified handle. I can't tell how good an edge it will take before I sharpen it myself, but the steel does seem hard enough at the " edge " that a metal file skates on it, so the heat treat seems good as are most of the Windlass knives or swords that I already have. If one orders it sharpened by RELIKS I would upgrade my rating to 5." - Jean (4/5)
