Here's my take on the WSK = Wilderness Survival Kukri



A list of the "upgrades" I made:
  • creating more of a "chopping" profile
  • short sawback, moved away from the tip (to allow for better skinning/draw-knife cutting)
  • "raised" false edge - to clear sawback
  • "bell" at the end of the contoured handle for comfort and control
  • rear lanyard thong
  • finger hole in the blade for safety/control while draw-knife cutting
  • finger ring instead of drop-guard for security/control
But most importantly, the tang has been drilled and the blade ground in a way to create a well balanced knife and not just another sharpened prybar. ;)

The blue handle with the copper coating looks sexy. Reminds me of something. Jessica Alba in her Fantastic 4 outfit maybe?
 
For me....it's Mystique from X-Men:

:)

I remember the call of the special effects/make up guy about her: "How to show a women naked in a movie? Easy. Paint her blue."

Someone should grab that Mystique WSK. Who knows, maybe in can morph too.
 
I love this knife, too bad I can't afford it. You should get one of these up on your website, I have been trying to figure out what it is for the longest time.

You say its an improvement on another WSK? I couldn't find anything like this anywhere else...do you have a link?
