I know what you mean about the price point for an ideal Infi Khukri ! I wanted them to be as light as the Cold Steel ones for easy carry ... but at the end of the day I decided to spend $1700 on a Nuclear TTKZ because the weight saving by serrating the spine makes this one feel the best of the bunch by a good margin ... but at a huge increase in cost!

At the end of the day though if I sell off all my other Infi except perhaps a Basic 9 as an alternative choice ... well ... it means I am probably better off than I would be by continually buying the next offering looking for a better all round choice.

However, a simple 11 inch khukri in 3/16 or .20 of an inch thick stock with a res c handle, would actually be a better user than the much more costly NTTKZ.
It would need a new res c design for the handle though. Something the same shape as the TTKZ grip.
