Dis my Condor Heavy Duty Kukri.

Very useful for splitting wood and branching pine boughs.

Been thinking about buying this one.

Anyone have any experience with it?

I only have a Kukri-shaped machete.

I'm not a real Jow Forumsu/k/ri owner like y'all.

But it sure does chop down small tree-like growths.

That counts as a Kukri.

Unlikely to be bad, by any means. I'd go for it.

Have that exact 1 the sheath sucks but I like it otherwise.

Do you ever really use one of the little knives to sharpen it or just a real whetstone?

What's so bad about the sheath? Looks like decent leather, or at least convincing faux leather.

Mines beatin to absolute shit and still going strong

Does anyone have experience with Tora blades? Are they worth the wait?

Kek

Typically they dont "pass them down", but just make new ones on their own. Kukris are buried with their owners/makers.

I think

I really want a Kukri House Scourge. But it is pretty impractical. Way to thick and heavy to ever carry long term etc. I just love the look and how it is a mashup of a kukri and a bowie.

Eh, two + pounds for a kukri plus sheath isn't too ridiculous.

The price is though.

I like it more than any of my other blades. Bought it off of a now deceased friend for $30 CAD.

What's a decent quality kukri that's not inordinately expensive?

OP here, my Condor cost me $80.

Here’s mine, the real deal from IMA. I need a patch knife though.

Nonsense, everyone knows that the Kukri is the ultimate perfect do-it-all knife.

No I mean I literally need a patch knife to fill the empty mini-sheath attached to the big kukri sheath

lol

I looked hard into the real-deal, top-dollar ones and settled on the $80 Condor. The legit ones are too big and heavy and thick to be practical for me.

The Condor is almost two pounds.

Still pretty hefty. I should point out that I got it for a good price, generally the Condor heavy dutys are 100+

Kukri has curved down blades. This looks like an kind of chopper

The Condor is almost 2 lbs. Should also point out that I got it cheap. Usually they're closer to 100

he might be alive today if you had offered like $45 at least

How is khukuri house? Been looking at their models. Im jyst gonna buy one so I want it to be top dollar. Are there better ones?

Got an old beat-up one 20 years ago as a birthday present, looks like one of the IMA ones

Never thought to take pic of it, sorry.

>owning a meme knife

Took some pics

I noticed it has an arrow and INDIA on it. Does this mean by chance it was military issue there or is the broad arrow strictly a British thing?

>knife

That means it was made in India

Well shit

Kukri house are kinda memes, but decent. They're kinda like the macs of the kukri world, everyone wants one because they're supposed to be super nice, but they're really just sorta meh.

They'll chop stuff though.

I'd recommend Himalayan imports if you want a nice, genuine Gurkha kukri, Cold Steel or Condor for something less pricey and handmade but just as fun tional.

one of them is actually a strop. it's purpose is for rolling the edge back into a straight form.

The leather is so hard there was no way to attach it to a belt attempting to caused the leather to crack

i got an ontario kukri and a cold steel magnum kukri machete

Pics nigger

Well that's fucking dumb.

Shouldn't be too hard to make a new one, or maybe soften the leather..

OR, maybe we're going about it wrong. The gurkhas dont hang their kukris on their belt but rather tuck it, sheath and all, snugly in a sort of sash.

Is it held differently?

Nah. A new kukri owner might be surprised by the force a swing can generate, but it's not so much that you need to radically change your grip

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it just the angle being more aggressive/forward that the cutting action of the blade has to happen more rapidly?
