Those look totally bad a** Brother. Pics when you get them in person and a review of course. You’ve really been ordering some cool stuff.

Yeah bro I am in review-debt and photo-debt for quite a few things. But I will eventually get to it all. I even have an antique bowie coming from the mid to late 1800's!

Both of them are sexy as hell. I wouldn't know how to choose.

Been ages since I've bought a new khukuri and there's a whole slew of new names since. These look especially good.

I really want a kukri now.  (As much as I like my Cold Steel Kukri Machete, it just doesn't have the same pop...) |

Second "kukri" I ever bought was Cold Steel's LTC Kukri. I hated it. It's in a better place now, with someone who appreciates it.
Third was a 15" sirupate from KHHI, bought second-hand from a forum member.
If I ever have spare cash again I'm gonna try either these guys or Kailash.

Update!
It came and it's super nice.
Very good fit and finish, light weight, perfectly balanced and hair shaving sharp out of the box.
Definitely better polish and fit and finish then KHHI.

CHAKMAK & KARDA/KADRA: What are Kadra & Chakmak used for? Most kukris come with two small knives at the back of the scabbard to make the set complete. The small knife with sharp edge is called "kadra" or an extra knife especially used for skinning purposes or as paper knife. Another knife accompanying kardra is the "chakmak" or the sharpener. The traditional method of sharpening a kukri is done by using the chakmak against the edge of the blade to and fro. However, a sharpening stone is recommended. Traditionally, chakmak was also used to ignite fire by generating sparks by striking against selective stones found in the hilly regions. Khukuri Knives issued to the Gurkhas during world wars did not have the two small knives however standard issue khukuris at present have both "Karda and Chakmak". Most khukuris from the ancient times also had the two knives along with an extra pocket (Khalti) to store small survival kits. Source: www.thekhukurihouse.com/special-karda-chakmak

" I looked under the bed. Nope. I looked in every room in the house. Nope. Went back to my room and there they were.
