They originate in Nepal, and are used both in war and everyday life\/agriculture. The heavy belly and forward curve results in devastatingly effective cuts and slashes. They are famous for their ability to De-limb things with single blows. I've been practicing bushcraft my entire life, and prefer a Khukri over any other type of blade when things get real out in the wilderness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a Khukri crossbred with a Thracian Falx sword. Great for brush clearing, very lightweight and wieldable. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ethe texture on the blade is a created using  a technique I created that I call Pyro painting. I’m essentially melting the surface to create patterning and texture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe blade is differentially quenched and tempered 80CRV2 high carbon steel. Which is to say, the spine is soft, flexible and durable, the edge is extremely hard. The result of this heat treating method is that you have a springy blade with a killer edge that will last through a long period of use. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Handle is carefully sculpted to comfortably fit the curves and complexities of the human hand.
