FrankieKnuckles Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Not exactly a pocket knife but here goes.I LOVE cooking and chefs knives - especially the Japanese kind.Problem is I can't afford them.So I decided to make a single bevel edge Santoku out of a piece of 4mm stainless flat bar I had laying around.This is the project so far... Fire Engine, gummibear, Raydek and 4 others 7

FrankieKnuckles Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Looks great so far What scales are going on there?Sorry Gummi - you're talking to an amateur here! I have good hands, but I'm not down with the lingo.Scales?If you mean handle, I have some dark buffalo horn pieces that I inherited from my late father in law, who was a knife maker. Beautiful. I also have Corian bone, which is ivory in colour and may also look good.What do you think? gummibear 1

V12man Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Picked up this Kukri recently. Does anyone else have one? SANY0039.jpgI have something similar I indirectly "borrowed" from a cuban many years ago..... no idea if it is the real thing at all - came with a tobacco pouch.
shova1 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I have something similar I indirectly "borrowed" from a cuban many years ago..... no idea if it is the real thing at all - came with a tobacco pouch. Probably not a Kukri, as they are from Nepal & were used to, ah-hem,'snuff' the enemy and an unfortunate food source. Tobacco pouches not exactly a requisite. But...post a pic, I'm keen to check it out.

velomonatiCT Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) Picked up this Kukri recently. Does anyone else have one? SANY0039.jpg I had one like that which my dad gave away while I was working in Russia in the nineties (he didn't want it in his house ) theres a makers date stamped onto the kukri blade where it meets the handle and those ones are made in Nepal now (they came with a red wax authenticity seal on the handle but it breaks off quickly so maybe yours is gone ) the original gurkha ones (Burma)are hard to find and worth a ton of money these days the two smalls are a skinning blade (sharpened) and a sharpening steel (dull edged)the furniture (scabbard etc ) are std gurkha military style with the brass parts polished and designed to fit on a brit army webb belt and they are made from wood and leatherthe steel is awesome quality said to be made from from old enfield rifle barrel steel and you can hone that sucker so sharp its like a straight razor careful if you play with it Edited September 12, 2015 by velomonatiCT
