Here are a couple of sights that might give you some idea about the usefulness and care of a Kukri. http://www.thekhukurihouse.com
http://www.nepalesekhukuri.com both have some great info about the knife and some of the soldiers that carry them.

Garrett,

Where did you get your Kydex from for your sheath?

I get my kydex at knifekits.com. They have decent prices, but fast shipping. I have ordered some stuff from texasknife.com as well, but that was recently. They have about the same prices, but you have to specify how you want to material cut.

There are quite a few places to order it. These are just the places that were suggested to me.

Here is a picture of my Khukri. This pic is not the best one, but it shows the over all effort. I sharpened to blade and reshpaed the handle and drilled a lanyard hole at the base of the handle.



This is a close up of the handle.



And finally, the finished product. I aded the lanyard and wrapped the handle at the hild with blue electical tape. I did this for two reasons, all my survival stuff is blue, so I can find it when I drop it in the woods, and the handle was getting a little loose on one side while I was splitting wood for my chiminea. The tape fixed this.



I have almost finished my first attempt at a sheath for it. I messed up when I traced it, foolishly tracing my design on the wrong side of the material, then I put the belt loop on the wrong side. I didnt discover the belt loop issue until after I had cut it. Once I finish the sheath I will post pics of it, but I am planning on doing another one to make it all right.

Comment or suggestions are welcome,

Garrett
