GK&CO. Kukri House Genuine Kukri/Khukuri- 5" Black (Rust Free) Blade Panawal Khukuri- Handmade Factory in Nepal.

Not a sharp blade; but I put a nice edge on it. Seems like hard blade so it should hold an edge. Seems like a blade you can dig something up with and cook with or even skin a deer. AND......its a real deal kukri. I checked out GK&Co. and these are actually handmade in Dhana Nepal. Overall, I think it's a great knife. Enjoy!

When it arrived I was happy with the results, it had a decently sharp blade( sharp enough to take care of some backyard trimming) and is pretty lightweight. It felt comfortable in the hands and is decent for the price. Where it gets me is the sheath. One of the nail caps popped off of the nail and now it absolutely WILL NOT sit straight on my belt. It also has a harder time cutting through anything tougher than weeds. Definitely a good garden knife. Sucks for actual hard work.

Good for the price needed to be sharpened a bit and a few touch ups on the handle but all in all a decent belt knife

I wanted a good, solid knife that reflects the hand craftsmanship of beautiful Nepal and this was one of the only knives that fit the bill. It's well made but not fancy and polished and over-fine like a lot of the others but while nicely made it clearly has a hand-made feel and appearance. You can see videos online showing these being made, mostly by hand, start to finish. Needs sharpening for a very sharp edge. Personally I like the coarse look of the unpolished black part of the blade.

Pros: -Thick, full tang blade: ~0.25" at widest spine -Compact overall size -Great steel choice; 5160 carbon steel according to mfg -Handmade: Minor imperfections add to uniqueness Cons: -Factory edge is not cutting sharp -Does not come with 2 accessory knives like larger models -Sheath is wood wrapped in leather; will retain moisture Comments: I've yet to field test this blade but it was quick to sharpen for use. The blade came coated in oil and in the sheath. Cleaning the oil off the blade also took some patina off but only a little. The sellers photos didn't have a good sizing reference so the kukri seemed smaller than anticipated. The weight is hefty for the compact size. I personally like the size since I can grip the blade for different cuts and details. I will update later after processing some wood and other materials. *Yard/field Update* [NOTE] The kitchen knife has a 6.5"/165mm blade. I do find myself choking down on the handle and letting my pinky hang loose to gain momentum, but the forward heavy blade makes up for this. Additionally, I really like how when I place my thumb on the spine, it is aligned with the blade. After a morning of chopping and batoning kindling, I'm changing the rating to 5*! The quality of the steel and the robust and ergonomic design of this kukri are great.
