[Andy BB]

but worth every penny if attacked by zombies - there are some things a SAK just can't do

i did hear that the cold steel San Mai was a bad combo but mostly by people that cant afford one...

ever heard of a warranty!

indeed it is, but not 25 times better IMHO, and my kukri does all i ask of it.
the cold steel kit is excellent, but some of their stuff is extortionately priced.

couldn't agree more. they have this idea that collectors will spend £500 on a blade even though its mass produced!

anything coldsteel up to £120 is the mark for value...

i spent £35 on my bushman blade and its semi indestructable, forged carbon steel......

imo the san mai is to hard
a chopper should not be harder than 59 rhc to make sure it doesn't chip
i would go for the cheaper carbon cold steel gurkha kukri
better and cheaper

i sold the kukri from khhi a bit so i have tested a view of them, 12/15 models, and i use a custom one
but the are all a bit warped and non are really straight also the metal is to soft imo
but the service is good and the price is right
and they are nice to start with
