I own A few kukri, though non by HI. Some are old, most are newish. As we type, I have numerous cuts to several digits, an consequence of a sharpening spree. Seriously, I bleed as I type. When I have the funds, I should like to burden the HI Kamis to make a blade for me. I note that some posters also have the right to bear arms. If only that were true in my nanny state. Once upon a time , we could possess certain pistols, which are now unlawful to possess. Yet , for decades, I carried a folding knife, and was never challenged, as a knife was " essential for my duties" as a mental health nurse. I probably would have been challenged if I carried an 16 tin chirra! Discretion is the better part of valour. Forgive my rambling post, I am off to change my bandaging.
