Well not really i got in on a trade but it was hand forged in nepal by himilayian imports. If you havent heard of them check them out. They handmake every blade in the same style they have been for hundreds of years. Every blade sold by them directly benefits the families of these kamis (knife makers ).

 

This model is the ugly villager and damn it is a big ugly brute of a blade. Sporting almost a half inch spine and an 11 inch blade. Got this used in a trade. This is the utility model you might find in many nepalese house holds as an all purpose tool it can chop shave and look bad ass at the same time. Its my first kukri from them and im looking at getting a few more, blades range from 8 to 30 inches so there are many gaps to fill . fwiw its not even that sharp and i hacked thru a green 4inch tree in about 10 good whacks.

 

 

A Kukri at its finest.

I have one that looks an awful lot like that. Same sheath, too. Over a pound of recycled truck spring. I love it.

Atlanta Cutlery has the real deal. Made by the original contractor. No where can you get a knife with the quality and heft for $40 like this. Pay the few bucks extra for them to sharpen it and you can be sure it's done correctly.
