I need to say this, even though I know you will never see this comment. Your Kukri is a thing of sheer beauty. The profile is so perfect it instantly reminded me of my grandpa, who fought with the Gurkhas in WW2. He remained great friends with his Gurkha unit into his last years and he passed fifteen odd years ago. I had one of his battle Kukris until I lost it in a home invasion where I lost a lot of other important stuff. Your Kukri is so beautiful it literally brought me to tears. One day I’ll be proud to own a knife that has that FZ stamp

Beautiful kukri. There are two so very satisfying moments for me in your videos: When you knock the crucible open and reveal the puck. And when the finished blade shows the patter when coming out of the acid. Thanks for sharing!

Nice to see an artist that puts as much work into the handle as he does the blade itself. Just an outstanding effort. Very well done. 13:07
