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.
New Juma blue swirl handle material combined with Navy and white acrylic handle material.

Those mambas are a good shape!

Thanks @Joe_90 , you have done a fair share of animals with one , cheers for the feedback.

It is “Voilà “,
viola means “he rapped” in French.

A Viola is also an instrument lower in tone than a violin and sits between a violin and a cello.

A stainless Damascus Nakiri made for my wife's birthday, needless to say my brownie points are on max .

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?

Any marking on the other side?

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.

no the two small ones are one -a pen knife and two two a primitive steel for reraisng the edge.I have two of the small ones -one ive mounted is complete the other a rough one Ive done repairs on the handle and scabbard and use it as a bush knife in tandem with my late model british "golok" machete.any old soldiers out there willknow what Im talking about.
weilded right that wee kukri can punch well beyond its weight.

Thanks very much for the info on this kukri! I think I'll print out the names/descriptions you've given me and hang the knife on the garage wall.

Happy to share my XM18
