Maybe I should hold out for a lighter version....but the HOG's as a group will definately have a "heavier is better" majority....maybe he might try both...we will just have to wait and see!!

Well at least I'll get a chance to put in my two cents worth. A Busse Khukri with the weight of a Ghurka fighting khukri would be a grail knife indeed. I have never wanted one of those monster three pound HI Khuks. I still think that somewhere around 22 oz to 25 oz is optimum for a 12" blade Khukri.


+1... I think 25 oz would be my ideal max for the KZ. I own a few khukris and bought a monster just out of curiosity and IMHO its too heavy. Not ideal for clearing brush, but great for chopping. Not sure I'd want to carry it on a long trek.
