    Something out of the scraps and stuff ups pile. Smashed this together Inbetween orders. Original Knife was a nitro v lightweight edc tester I wasn't 100% happy with and the scales had a massive inclusion making to short for a normal knife handle.

    Bit of a regrind and viola a new little b&t/small game hunter for myself.

    Sitting at home with Covid, day 5... she's a bit boring.
    Lost count of the amount of hunting videos I have watched on YouTube.
    Out of boredom here's a knife I made a couple of weeks back for a local Central Otago hunter.
    Mamba model in 1084.

    Those who live in glass houses, shouldn't piss off Geologists.

    A Viola is also an instrument lower in tone than a violin and sits between a violin and a cello.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Hi all,
    I recently found this kukri when going through my grandfather's stuff. I don't know anything about it; looks a bit "touristy" but it must be quite old (as he died before I was born).

    No stamps or marks, but it's decently made and has a good edge. Seems forged and good steel.

    Anyone seen or know anything about this sort of knife?

    Nope, no markings anywhere. From some research it seems it is an old Indian Kukri, rather than a Nepalese one. The small versions are to be used as a pen knife ‘sort of’ (the sharp one) and the blunt one was for church. A warrior couldn’t be without his kukri but no weapons allowed in church, hence he would leave the two sharp ones outside and just cart the blunt one in. Honour satisfied… I think it's quite old.

    That's quite an imaginary description of small knives. it's nothing like that.

    Small knives are called karad (The Sharp one) and Chamak or Chakmak (Blunt one). Karad is for cleaning game, cutting fruits, general purpose small knife whereas Chakmak is to sharpen the main khukri or small knife.
