Cleaned up / Restored Gurkha Khukuri Knife

Cleaned up / Restored Gurkha Khukuri Knife - My cleaned up and renovated Kukri Knife, Originally the blade was rusty and chipped, sheath was damaged and so was the handle, I fixed all those parts and added a leather strap and O-ring lanyard hoop, the sheath was also re oiled to give it a much better look than it had before.

History : The Kukri is a curved Nepalese Knife, similar to the machete, used as both a tool and as a weapon. It is a traditional weapon for Nepalese people, and also a weapon of choice/side arm for all Nepalese including those serving in different armies around the world.

I bought mine from a friend about 6 years ago for about £5 ($3) it was dirty, damaged and not very nice, I took the knife, sanded off the rust from the blade, filled the holes in the handle with filler, re-coloured the handle and oiled and fixed the sheath adding a few extra parts (leather strap and lanyard hoop). overall its a much nicer knife than it was.

Features: Horn handle, brass pommel and fixtures, goat leather sheath, spring steel blade, two accessory knives (utility knife, and knife sharpening steel) and the flint and tinder pouch.

Dimensions : Blade - 330mm, Handle - 110mm, Overall length 440mm.

WeaponCollector's Tactical Meat Cleaver

Saw Back

Jimping and Vine / Fire  File Work

Finger Grooved handle and Lanyard holes

Traditional hanging hole

WeaponCollector's Tactical Meat Cleaver -  A modern Tactical Meat cleaver style knife for fighting, features a saw back, jimping, and file work, finger grooves and various lanyard holes and a hanging hook like the old traditional cleavers a butcher would have had.
These types of knife are usually for cutting large thick pieces of meat and therefore should lends its self well to fighting, possible taking off limbs with a single swipe if sharp enough.

The blade is mild steel, and was part of an old T section beam, although not hardened it could be at any time by removing the handles, the handles are made from plywood and are painted black, with brass bolts, the back of the handle features some file work that resembles fire, or a thorn vine.

Weight is very heavy due to the size of the blade and thickness, although heavy and slightly cumbersome the weight means that even a glancing blow would cause considerable damage.
Features no makers mark.
At this time there is no sheath, but I plan to get a nice tactical style scabbard with straps and various pouches.

A great collectors piece, not many people make "tactical" style cleavers like this, great for display and as a talking point, but could be used in a combat situation.

Dimensions - Blade 190mm long, Handle 115mm long, Blade thickness 10mm, Overall length 305mm approx.

Two Finger Balisong Brass Knuckles (Butterfly Knife Knuckle Duster)

Balisong / Balisong Duster / Knuckle Duster

Features a "Skull Crusher" spike when closed

Double Edged Dagger Blade

Two Finger Balisong Brass Knuckles (Butterfly Knife knuckle duster) - My first ever Balisong Brass Knuckles, made to be held so that the middle and ring fingers are in the finger holes, and the two other fingers are supported by the outer grooves, opens like a traditional balisong, but due to the knuckle duster can't really be "flipped".
Made from Aluminium and Steel with various bolts, screws and washers.
The knuckle duster itself features no spikes instead has flat striking surfaces, but it does have a skull crusher spike when closed, and dagger blade when open, this would give the wielder several options for non-lethal, and potentially lethal combat.

The size is suited to Medium to large hands/fingers, and are not really suited to small or slim fingers.
Features Oval style finger holes and a curved palm rest,

Weight is pretty heavy due to the thickness and amount of material used.

Features No makers marks or date (as of making this entry, Makers mark may be added later)
Overall a great new piece for my collection, they are reasonably comfortable,  but not as comfortable a some traditional designs, would be safe to use though, I hope to get a thinner, four finger version very soon, so look out for that in a future blog entry, certainly very cool and I am very happy to have this one as they are very rare and unusual.
Dimensions - 115mm wide overall, 72mm high, 8mm thick - Knuckle Duster only
Finger holes are 22mm wide and 30mm high approx.
Blade is 60mm long, 27mm wide, 5mm thick.
Overall thickness 32mm.
Overall length when open 152mm.
