I just got a fax from Ron Hood, who runs www.survival.com (many may have heard of him). As part of another upcoming article on the GH khukuris, he sent two off to be Rockwell tested. Here were the results, measured on the blades' sweet spots.
BHOJPURE: Spine 22, Midsection 45, Edge 54
PANAWAL: Spine 25, Midsection 46, Edge 55
Of course, these are only two khukuris picked at random, so measurements differ blade to blade. However, I'm interested to see what you all think of the "point spread."
Any comments?
