Looks stout! What is the little cut out near the handle for?

Very nice. May I ask who you ordered from? I have been interested in getting a kukri for some time as well.

Sweet pocket rig!

Dang it there you go again. Last year I searched out (on the internet) khukri makers in Nepal but couldn't quite decide on "the one" (or "the dozen") and I managed to tamp down the urge as an expenditure I didn't really need to make. So of course you throw this out there and now I'm falling off the wagon.

Those are pretty reasonable prices on the website, too....

Very nice, Andy!!

So, every time I smoke a Ghurka Cigar, it's hard to not think of the knife...and the Ghurka soldiers.

Certainly to cut the cap off of a Ghurka cigar you need a khukri. Or at least the little back up knife, the karda.

Andy - I happen to have a few in my possession! Every Tuesday, like clockwork (because I have not been traveling in awhile and most likely will not be for the foreseeable future) - back table of Tap In...starting at 5 pm on Tuesdays, Main St. Grapevine. Just give me a heads-up and I'll make sure to have one (or two) with me...car, gun guys, fun group!

This is my favorite Ghurka, sadly, I do not have any of these on me (vanished into smoke??)...

Yours is pretty. I have one that I inherited from my material grandfather that is probably WWII vintage but it looks exactly like yours, little knives in the scabbard and all. it was dull looking when I got it and I haven't really tried to do anything to clean it up. I can remember carrying it around at my grandfather's place when I was around 14 years old. The amazing thing about it is that swinging it feels much different than a regular machete. I was worried about even having it until Texas passed the laws relaxing blade length. I figured that I could get away with calling it an antique.

I thought you were going to say "to open my beer."
