First.
Another 3fer. I like that news in the morning.
I spent my youth and teenage years in the area of the Lapeer County Deputy shooting. May the deputy recover to return to work.
I have long wanted to have a Kukri. Not some “Made in China” piece of lookalike shit, and not even some custom creation from an American Knifemaker, and not particularly needed to be “new”. I want a “Kukri”, made originally for the military, and authentic. I expect that I will go to my grave without one, but the desire is there.
I always wondered what the two little knives tucked into the back of the scabbard were for. They are poorly balanced for throwing and one was dull as could be. I figured mine must be unique and the maker had some left over metal…
I am now glad I did not try to put an edge on the blade. Maybe mine is authentic, I know it was not made in China, but I don’t know for sure it was made in Nepal.
From the article.
“Most Kukri feature two little knives attached at the back of the sheath held either in a built-in pocket or a leather purse is the complete set. The small sharp knife is a Karda, it serves as a small cutting knife. The other knife is called a Chakmak. It is blunt on both sides and it works like a knife sharpener when one does not have a sharpening stone rubbing both sides of a kukri. This Chakmak when stroked against a lime stone created sparks to start fire also.”
E-Bay.
Another 3 get ventilated!
