Zombie Apocalypse Weapons

This is a very nice 21st Century version of a classic blade pattern.
Good weight, decent balance, really good steel and a GREAT handle!

On first handling this blade I was stuck by several thoughts the first of which was  " Holy $!*% I better be careful with this thing"

The tip has a very sharp point almost like a rapier and after a few passes with a diamond stone the blade took a razor edge.

My second thought was  " This was nicely done, l really like the handle and this is very good steel."

I will doubtless buy the Lakonia  and then start asking Windlass to make a Gladius and Pugo in Cobra Steel

I wanted a "tank knife" that was nice enough that I would want to use it, but not so nice that I wouldn't want to use it, if you know what I mean.  I have been wearing this alternately with the officer's model around the house since Christmas.  A couple days ago, I used this one to chop some wood in my yard to put in the fire pit, and it will still shave hair.  There are surely more expensive offerings on the market, but this one is really hard to beat, especially for the price.  And, the ACC sharpening service is totally worth it.

Just received my Assam Rifles kukri.  It's beautiful.  Workmanship is excellent.  In fact the workmanship on this knife exceeds the workmanship on my regimental kukri which I also rated 5 stars.  The sheath is a better design than the one that comes with the regimental kukri.  Fit and finish is excellent and matches the online picture perfectly. I have a large hand and the handle fit my hand beautifully.  I paid for sharpening and it came sharp.  You can't go wrong with this knife.

Phenomenal product.  This thing is closer to an axe than a knife, which I suppose is part of the idea.  Of course, it's a formidable fighting knife, but I can't imagine taking anything else camping or hiking (especially in the US North East - maybe a machete if I were going to a jungle).  Everything from tip to peen seems incredibly rigid.  The handle is quite comfortable in the hand, and allows for a few different grips.  I ordered mine unsharpened (as I wasn't sure if I'd use it for some live steel sparring, or as a knife), and it came very very dull at the tip and near the cutouts.  It'll take some work to sharpen in those areas, but that's quite alright.
Unlike others, my scabbard came fairly snug, and wearing it on a belt, or tucked into a belt, I'm confident that the blade would not come free unless I wanted it to (mostly because of the shape).
I suppose my only real complaint would be the two little knives.  They seem to be of a fairly low quality of manufacture, and material.  One of mind came quite bent out of shape, and I bent it right back with almost no effort.  I'm not sure that I would *ever* find a use for them, so as far as complaints go, it's very minor.
Overall, a fantastic buy, especially as a deal of the week.
My only regret was not buying two.

For the price, you can't find a better FULL tang Wakizashi!  Needed a couple of strokes with my sharpening steel when it arrived, but then it took an edge like a razor.  Durable (been hacking everything in sight) and super light, it moves like a lightning bolt in wind!

Well the blade is very thick . The lion on the butt is not recognizable due to the tang being flattened to hold the handle on. That being said I love it! I highly recommend that you pay the $5 to have it sharpened, I did not

I have been wanting this piece for a while and I saw it on sale and bought it.  There is some fitment issues with the handle scales at the crossguard but it is just cosmetic.  Still a great deal at full price!  I will give it a better edge for easier cutting.

Big awesome blade, fits extremely well in the hand. The handle seems sturdier on this one than the regular Gurkha kukri. My only issue is that I paid for sharpening and it wasn't very sharp. Great blade for the price, highly recommended.  

Excellent all purpose Tomahawk

My wife has taken it from me
Cutting roots, kindling etc

Will buy myself another one!!

Let's get right to it: AWESOME KNIFE.  Can we really call it a knife?  I almost believe short-sword would be a more appropriate term of description/title.  Whatever you want to call it, it's AWESOME.  Very very happy.  I ordered mine sharpened and while I cannot speak to my esteemed colleague who recently received his own kukri and didn't care for their sharpening job, I thought they did a commendable job on mine own kukri.  Perhaps not a PERFECT job, but certainly better than I could do and I am happy.  It is a bit of a cost but still, necessary in my opinion.  This feels great, it has some serious heft but the heft is a good heft, it feels like it could do serious damage to whatever it connects with.  You need to be CAREFUL!  The real problem I encountered was I received two of the same "small utility knives" - I didn't receive one "karda" and one "Chakmak" - I received two identical knives- what I believe them to be are "kardas" - the karda is supposed to be a sharpened utility knife, and the chakmak is a steel burnishing blade (unsharpened).  I believe these are SUPPOSED to be kardas but completely unsharpened edge, so useless really.  Oh well, I bought it for the big kukri and sheath, not for two utility knives.  Very happy.  I couldn't decide on this "fuller-size" model and the smaller Officer's Kukri and I am glad I got this one.
