I agree though about the edges that they arrive with. The reason I embarked on this to begin with is one of them has some extra soft metal rolled to one side around the belly and near the cho that I wanted gone and 2 of my Kardas have arrived very dull. I know this is probably for safety but I would like my users to be as sharp as is safe and still strong enough for the blade to work as intended.
Rather than safety, it's likely just that the buffing wheels used to polish the mirror finish on most HI blades buffed the edges dull.... the karda are typically given less attention than the khukuri anyway.
