OK HI lovers! help guide me...I was looking at those deals that pop up in the HI section of BF and the price of the Bone Cutters look attractive...is that a good place to start? What's a good starting size? Why do they tag on the small blades?? Stupid/basic questions all,but help a brother out!


The WWII or BAS is a good starting choice. Look for one that is 15"-18" OAL. The smaller blades are the karda and the chakma.

karda - a small knife carried in the khukri sheath
chakma or chakmak - the steel for striking on flint to produce fire; steel for sharpening knives (frequently found with a khukuri).
