Thank you ndog! That's the answer I need!! I appreciate your time!Oil the hell out of them and stuff them in the sheath! It will only help. In fact if the sheath wood retains oil then it becomes more moisture resistant and prevents further moisture damage assuming you are using non organic oils. Organic oils work fine short term and can go rancid but if you want it to last generations then go with mineral oil or something similar. The best oils can be debated but if your not sure do mineral oil till you figure it out and get educated enough to debate it then do what you feel best. Wood, steel, leather, and everything these rigs are made from are compatible with mineral oil and personally id totally dunk the whole rig in a five gallon bucket of mineral oil if I was bothered by it but its not necessary. Just oil up the blade and stuff it and use it and dont worry. Wipe some on the sheath to condition it and all will be good.
That sir is your Khukri on mineral oil! Any questions?
Holy Moley, Ultimate Fighter and then some. I'd hate to be on the wrong end of this bad bad boy.
On closer inspection the Cho seems a little different from the usual? The handle is longer as well... approx 6"? Really digging that wicked clip point too....
Thank you for the additional info davidf99The half-disk shaped cho is standard on the Ultimate Fighter model. The two that I've had both came with very sharp clips. You can always make the clip sharper if it doesn't come sharp enough to suit you. However, if you plan to carry your UF in public places you might end up using a file to dull the sharp clip, since double-edged blades are highly illegal in many jurisdictions. That would almost be an act of vandalism (some might say, sacrilege), but it depends on the laws in your area and how badly you want to carry your UF. Personally I would rather keep mine at home and enjoy it with the sharp clip.
Another distinctive feature of this model is that there is no separate bolster. The handle scales are carved in the shape of a bolster, which looks very elegant.
David, question: what is the clip used for, exactly?
...
If you're ever going to use an Ultimate Fighter against an actual person, I suggest that you check with your lawyer first, and maybe even bring him along.
I'm skeptical that this would work well for the average person, since the knife is quite heavy.
