Hi, people! I received these a month ago, but I've been busier than hell, so I'm just now getting around to taking pics and writing a review of these. The 10.5" Service No. 1 and the 15" Victor, heavily modified and custom designed by the ol Wood Wolf! Just a sneak peek for now, I'll have a review up in the "Other Weapons Reviews" section here very soon. Hope you like. (As usual, right click and hit "View Image" or whatever to see the full pic.)

Good to see you, TW. Nice looking kuks, still not sure how I feel about the finger groves, but that's a beastly blade. The smaller of the two looks comfy in the hand, but a bit puny by comparison. that green scabbard is interesting, don't think I care for it, personally, but it's a neat look and cool that they could do it. I'm way behind on my New Kuk fund...

Hey there, Random! Thanks, and I have a love/hate relationship with finger grooves. I have them on this khuk and that 1000g Beast. They are fantastic for getting every bit of purchase possible out of a heavy blade, but they MUST be PERFECT for the individual. Mine are, because I was very specific about the dimensions. But I have other blades where they downright suck! So I think I'll call myself lucky and not do that design anymore. Maybe one finger groove, not 4 ... That small one is actually an average sized khuk, so yeah, that Victor is bordering on huge! :lol: As far as the green leather, it's not bad-looking, but I decided to maximize the combos of their 4 colors, and I figured the military issue khuks would be the ones to get the green sheaths. That and the khuk pins. :roll: Yeah, there's a method to my madness somewhere around here ... :shock: ETA: Oh, I just noticed that green is a lot brighter in the pic than it is in reality. It really looks like that old army helmet color.

Love the tang-through and lanyard hole.

Well, kudos for some very attractive work. I'm not a huge fan of straight grips on a Kukri, but those are nicely done.

I wanna see a black powder coated d guard kukri with a 20 inch blade and an easy to sharpen secondary bevel, I'd throw money at that.

Sorry for the delay, SBG was offline for a few days. :?
Thanks, SPQR.
Justin, send them an email with your design specs and a drawing. I'm pretty sure you'd have to get it powdercoated locally, though. But I have a place 2 miles from me that'll do powdercoating on anything, you should have a similar shop around you.
