While on the topic of Bolo's and Kukri's here is the Kukri I got to replace my long term Army issue....both the Enterek and CS Kukri have not seen much use but I have used the Army issue and Maurader for years prior to the involuntary change of hands.....still my house insurance cover turned out to be pretty good and I got these as replacements <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Cold Steel Kukri


I have been re-profiling the edge on this making it finer towards the hilt for wood cutting/tool making ( pegs/V cuts etc ) and this is a bit of a labour of love. The thickness of the blade means a lot of removal is needed....

The size and weight of this is bigger than the Army issue and it's chopping ability is as good as my Gransfors Woodsman. They do a San Mai version but it is hugely more expensive....I doubt the extra money would be reflected in comparable increase in performance! That would be hard to do!
