Rep Power: 100 | | | Not sure I can sell any Gurkhas I think there are laws about slavery....
I have good ones Ghurkha House (military models) $40 plain $50 dragon etched on blade that includes shipping and pay pal fees etc...
I have better ones from HI many models from karmabits - Sirupate Khukuris to exotic rare ones also some fixed blade knives and a couple of swords/kantana--prices range from $75 to $300 shipped. every one of these are hand made

Rep Power: 36 | | | Well, I think I can find a nice, fat loop-hole in the slavery laws just this once..
I will PM you my email address, we can work something out. I am a cook downtown, I have to park in the dankest, darkest places so I can avoid the meter maid. Be nice to have a little backup other than my Chef's Knife. Although, I often wonder--as I'm slicing a nice prime rib--what it would be like to slip that Solingen steel into some worthless individual whom nobody would miss come the morning...aaaah.

Bando has a lot of techniques with this weapon. Hard to find someone to teach it to you, but well worth the effort. |

Rep Power: 220 | | | ok, just got my Khukuri form them, a Military model.
While it is nice and I can see the advantage of it, I find it too heavy and cumbersome for my tastes, I prefer the Tanto for my fighting methods/style |

Rep Power: 220 | | | Usually between a 10" blade or greater.
Though, I have a Zen Tanto from aqira which is somewhat shorter and I like that as well, it's easier to conceal and if you like to get in close, it does the job very well. |

Rep Power: 100 | | | That ZEN is one I use a lot, and when I do my classes the students always choose that one.
A good all around Khuk for fighting and work that would fit and be easy to use for most people is a 15" military model, sirupate, or Kobra
