that looks like a nepalese bowie. Guy who probably took one day to make it made enough to feed his family and knock back some ... with the the boys.
When I saw the finish on the LE it reminded me of the khukris I have. Ghurkas carry khukris into battle still. I have to google it but I think Nepal still has Ghurkas in the sandbox.

Yep the ghurkas are still very active as part of the British Army and Nepali army, whooping [censored] for 'Queen and Country' or King and country- they are still some of the best hard-core bad-[censored] infantry around.. Funny that, they are dei-facto mercenaries in the British Army but still one of the (if not the) most loyal, reliable formations out there... I wonder why we haven't sent them to Af', it'd be right up their street..

Paul - They are probably afraid to send some Ghurkas there, as they don't want the good guys chopping off heads like the bad guys do ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> It WOULD be an interesting battle - Ghurkas vs. bin Laden's bad boys with blades ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Let's keep this one up near the top until the question gets answered.
And the question is what are the specs for the bowie and when will we be able to expect it for sale? Also tempering info, would be appreciated.
Thanks to whoever gives up the info.

PK, that fight would be very one sided- razor sharp 12" khukri versus beat up old AK bayonet... my money would be on the little brown dudes with the Union Jack on their shoulder! I'm not not sure if they still collect heads but I'm not sticking my neck out on the subject...
