I can see a rabbit caller going on them, very nice work.
what are the prices,
Good idea for kids having a whistle on them

That's some impressive knot work.

Closest I have come to something like that was a sling for my single shot .22 I made up.

I am quite keen to hear how that Gerber Myth set goes as well George. Will end up getting it as want a knife with a gut hook.

@ 3D, If you've never had a Kukri before John, it will amaze you with how good it is. As for that fibreglass tanto.... that's gonna sh1t customs as it will be undetectable to scanners...

@GKO I've seen plenty of vision of them in action on "U"tube. Its the perfect shape for a chopping action or swing.
If you checked that link to the survival gear his POA knife is sort of Kukri shaped. I understand they are army issue in some countries.
I found a shop that only sells Kukri knives complete with the Karda and chakmak,
, This is the shop this Knife is not the one I'm getting I'm after one with a more traditional flaired handle, what do you think of this shop,
noticed a lot are made from car springs

Knowing where the blades originated and what they can do, the fact that some are made from car springs makes no difference to me. The abuse I have hurled at my kukri over the years and it has just kept on trucking. IMO they are one of the most versatile and robust knives ever created, no to mention sharp as a mofo!

Not putting car spring steel down I'm sure plenty of great blades have come from them. In fact I have some waiting to be turned into a knife at some stage
That survival guys Knife is loosely the shape of a kukri blade, This is the one I'm thinking of getting,,

Only some different type of fire starter arrived today,
you fill a small lighter with lighter fluid and strike a stick with a wick along the edge
No good for survival if fluid runs dry eh lol

Oh and Gecko and OD what exactly do you want me to do to test the gerber kit i got ?? The small blade is too small to use to slaughter but out of curiosity i cut the crust of a roll and it cut thru without creasing the roll lol
