I want a kukri...

[woof]

I want a kukri, i had a couple, one you can see in my back threads, which realy i did'nt want to use(read abuse !) for sentimental reason, i also had a army issue one, that i realy liked the size of, but was to small for my hands, they have both now gone on long term loan to a collector over on BB.

So, i was looking around & to import one i think will be about the same price as buying the condor or kabar one from Heinne's. Does anyone have the kabar or condor one ?, certainly the reviews for them are excelent.

I've got a Condor HD Kukri which I love. It's a good length with a very thick blade and comes with a very good quality sheath.

To be honest it was some time ago but I don't remember any tax and postage was inc.

 

[woof]

Thanks, i've figured out posting(not that difficult !)but i was wondering what the tax will be. looks like it will be around £50 inc potage, but just wondering if i'll get stung by customs.
Looking for a UK based retailer, which was why i mentioned the original 2 from Heinne's.

Try Tora Blades, stock levels vary as he gets batches in from Nepal, but really good quality and very much a working tool. I have a couple and really like them. I think the guy is Simon and he has some imput in design - so the problems with small handles are avoided.

Thanks Andy.

I've got one. Nepal 2007 stamped on the blade. Some scratches from sharpening etc. I've had it for a few years, picked it up as a trade and have only really ever looked at it.

Main blade and skinner are shaving sharp. Striker blade works well with a ferro rod. There is a piece of gaffer tape round the sheath (Wasn't me)


Make me an offer.

My wife bought me Bahadur from Khukuri House for Xmas the other year, wasn't charged any additional tax just the price of the knife and postage as listed on their site.

Thanks Smudge.
