Review of: Longleaf Traditional Antique Kukri with Reproduction Scabbard, 2 Knives
Great kukri - this came in good condition, but a bit dirty. There was no active rust, but there was corrosion from years of storage and two significant dents in the edge. I spent about an hour working on it with a rust eraser and a whetstone and got it back to almost original condition, though the dents would need much more work to take out. Mine had a wooden handle which is very solid and in fairly decent shape. In hand it feels authoritative and "choppy" in a good way. If you haven't handled a historic kukri before then they're very interesting and very utilitarian.
To be honest, it wouldn't be my first choice for outdoor usage, but it would definitely work in a pinch. As a collector piece... it's really, really good. This is a vintage or antique blade, and when you think about it, the dents in my blade just indicate that it saw use during the day. More likely than not, someone trusted this blade with their life when they took it with them on an expedition.

Review of: M1 Garand Sling with Brass Hardware
A little thin but, it works. Use it on my M-1 and it has not stretched out too much for being so thin.

Review of: Longleaf Traditional Kukri Blade
I ordered this longleaf blade along with a bojpure blade. This longleaf is about an inch shorter than the bojpure, and has a slightly more slender leaf. But it is still an inch longer and broader than my modern production, traditional-stlye kukri. The blade is also made of a much tougher grade of steel. Tougher than any other weapons in my collection. I did not pay for hand selection. Even still, this blade is in quite good condition in spite of nicks and some clear signs of heavy use. These are actually nice in an authentic antique. This is no modern reproduction. I have attached a handle of my own making. I will leave the heavy patina intact and touch up the edge so that it can live on as a fearsome weapon.

Review of: Bhojpure Traditional Kukri Blade
I bought this bojpure blade along with a longleaf blade. This bojpure is over an inch longer than the longleaf, and has a broader blade. It is about two inches longer than my modern production, traditional style kukri and has a much broader blade. It is far more imposing as a weapon. It is also made of a vastly tougher grade of steel. Harder than any weapon in my collection. I did not pay for hand selection, and this blade is in rough condition. The edge looks to have suffered major damage at some point and was crudely repaired. The tip is broken off. None of this detracts from this beautiful antique. I have attached a custom handle. I am leaving the heavy patina intact and will touch up the edge so that it will continue to live on as a fearsome weapon.
