Looking for very tough knife!

[ndoghouse]

Somebody should post some pictures and dimensions of one of those giant chitlangi bowies. Those might be the thickest and heaviest blades that HI makes, usually 52 oz. Or more. Smod may just be smitten. I know I want one.

No Problem! For your pleasure

You really are the warren buffett of khukuris haha.

 

[Gehazi]

if i was he, HI would only work for me

 

[smodtactical]

If HI doesn't make them anymore than I think I will get a 18" or 20" CAK and order it extra thick. Aunty said they could maybe do it with 5/8 inch thickness.

Ronins grip thanks for the informative response! I think you are making me feel purchasing from HI is the right decision!

You will not be disappointed. You will received one heck of a chunk of hand forged steel if you order one!!

If you google "himalayan imports khukuri review" you will get a ton of hits and they are overwhelmingly positive. I did a ton of research before I bought my first one four or so years ago and everybody kept saying "Get an HI" over and over. I was so curious that I bought one and the rest is history. It's hard to buy just one

Anyone looking for a really massive khukuri should read the stickies at the top of the HI forum. The most important one is the Latest and Greatest Safety Thread. REQUIRED READING!

[J W Bensinger]

lol pugs that was when I tried to buy it, he was getting some cash together for a purchase or trade from you

 

[crystalEyes]

Wow you got snaked by the good ol boys, gehazi.

 

[ndoghouse]

Once you get your hands on one of them GCB's ...well...you know what they say bout cold dead fingers!

 

[J W Bensinger]

Two gcb's would lead to some very interesting double sinawalli drills-and some very strong wrists

 

[Gehazi]

they are basically sabers to me, very cool ones-- gotta wait for the kami to put a few more out !

My first Kuk from HI could easily be used as a Aircraft carrier's anchor. To bring this beast to the woods, I need a trailer and a 10 wheeler.
Fun to own, great for showing, but not exactly practical and certainly not safe to work with unless you are a NFL linebacker.
