    The best Kukri knives

    I own a number of Khukuris from HI, -bought them years back when Bill Martino was still around. The build depends very much on the type and smith. Ang Khola models are beasts, Sirupate/Chitlangi models are slimmer. Just ask for specifics when Yangdu advertises the (almost daily available)...

    British Blades Forum - down

    TBH - no Site/Database migration or DNS transfer takes a week - and I have some experience with this as well. Much credit to Martyn to have been willing/able to run it for so long.

    Casstrom Woodsman review & other bits

    Nice video, thanks. If I was not already blade-saturated and happy with my M.O.R.A, that knife sure would be on my user-shortlist. Roger Harringtons patterns always seem to work well. -Emile

    So much money on knives

    Nothing wrong with cheaper knives from usage perspective. That being said, the Mark Hill A.R.O.M in RWL-34 is still by far my used-and-abused favorite ;)

    courses in Canada

    Another Mors / Randy Breeuwsma recommendation. I did the Winter Skills Course with Karamat in 2007, best experience ever. Howling Coyotes at freezing nights.. Still thinking about attending the Summer Course.

    To my past experience with a RM Woodlore from the same age, it's approximately two hours bench-stone removed from a full flat scandi ;) Good luck with the sale.
