hey everyone. I just ordered my first HI kukri and am excited to recieve it. I was reading around and it appears they are zone hardened, leaving the tip and blade closest to the handle “soft”. I am just wondering to what degree? Is it very soft, unhardened even? Or is it just a few degrees softer than the belly? If i use the “soft” part for making something like a feather stick, will it dull quickly? I realize they come with a smaller knife that is more useful for such tasks so it is not really an issue. I am just curious. I will find out soon enough i guess but wanted to know what i am in for.
