Longleaf Traditional Kukri Blade

Show up in 4 days.  In great shape, will order from  ACC in the future. thanks

I'm quite pleased with this purchase. I just put the handle on last weekend and it looks great. However, the edge just can't get as sharp as I'd like. I'm guessing it might have to do with the quality of the steel of that era. Great heft and feel for a chopper. If you're quasi handy and have some tools, you pretty easily install your own handle. For $50, it's a lot of knife for the money.

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.

As some of the other reviews mention, my longleaf came covered in old grease and dirt. However, some de-greaser and a wire wheel brought it back to life very quickly. Lots of dings, hammer marks, and other signs of use, but the blade was remarkably sharp considering the age. Got it to paper cutting sharpness quickly. I'm looking forward to fitting a custom handle and making a new scabbard!

For the age they are in great shape  and with a little oil now and again i think these blades will way out last me by an EZ 100 years or more.  I used a polishing stone to sharpen the edge back into shape. and now it cuts just like when it was new. looking for camel bone to make handle out of,  to have an old ivory look to it. , all in all a great project knife.

Pretty nice blade, but it did need some repairs. I had to wet sand it with 360 grit and REM oil to get some of the rust off. And I had to reshapen the tip. I'm happy with it, it was a nice little restoration project. I can't wait to make a bolster for it and get a handle on it.

Absolutely beautiful.  Once I cleaned the grease off the steel it stuck me thstvthis is a physical piece of history in my hands.  Very humbling.  I will absolutely be purchasing more of these beautiful blades.

A fabulous find.  The weight of this blade is unbelievable, it's a monster.  The cosmolene(?) came off easily with turpentine.  There are no nicks in the cutting edge, no rust spots, and no pitting.  As soon as I finish this one, I'm getting another.  Every blade fanatic should buy one before they're all gone.

This blade was in very nice shape for its age. Edge is in good condition and no rust, just scuffing and staining. The fullers are well defined and has some well done markings on the back. Will put it in an Indian all steel sword hilt like some were done. Very pleased, will order more.
