Thoran Backup

Blades and sheath come expertly packaged. Blades are sharp and grips are beautiful. The sheath is thick quality leather. This is truly a piece of art. You won’t be disappointed by this set of blades and sheath. Well worth the price.

This is a Kukri! Heavy blade sharp enough to shave with. The fullers add a decorative touch with black paint(?) running through them. The handle is exquisite with wood, bone and wood all pinned in place. The little knife is a full tang blade and has the same wood handle to match the Kukri and it’s super sharp too. The sheath is wood covered in leather and to me it’s beautiful in looks and craftsmanship. The only con is neither blade came with lanyards. The little one can do without one but I want one on that big Kukri blade.

This is a top notch knife. Quality steel. Weight and balance is dead on. Craftsmanship is good. My only complaint is the sheath is a little tight but I assume it will wear in.

Overall this is a great knife, 13 inches long blade 1/4 inches spine the handle is very well done, it's a keeper..

Items blade on the small knife is not straight and curves at the tip from over grinding. The handle on the kukri has sharp burrs where the pins and tang show. Over all not good quality assembly on the handle. The kukri itself is a beast and is super long and heavy, not a fault since it does say so in the description. But the lack of polish on the overall set and the over grinding of the blade is not worth the price. The leather scabbard is also very cheap wood wrapped with faux feeling leather.

If you buy it, remember to sharpen it.

Supper sharp nice leather, came from cat man due

Let me tell you, the workmanship put into this knife is exceptional, top notch. The materials this knife is made from feel and look great. I couldn't find information about the steel type it is made of, but I would expect it to be 1045 or 1060 with a hardness of around 60 HRC. I'll need to check with the maker of the knife on this. This blade features full tang construction. I really like the fact that this knife has a full tang, and only for this I'm telling you that it's worth the high price. The knife feels comfortable in my hand. Sharpness is perfect right out of the box, and its sharpness lasts longer than I expected. Though I wouldn't recommend it for outdoor activities and camping, hiking, etc. It's too pretty and a bit bulky to carry around all the time, better keep it on display! FYI, the (kukri or khukuri) is a type of machete originating from the Indian subcontinent and is traditionally associated with the Nepali-speaking Gurkhas of Nepal. The knife has a distinct recurve in its blade. It serves multiple purposes as a melee weapon and also as a regular cutting tool throughout most of South Asia. The kukri knife itself is beautiful from handle to pommel to blade. The steel blade has blackened grooves going from the guard to the point along the edge and the spine. Near the guard, there is a stamped "NEPAL" mark. At 13 inches, it's a bit under the classic kukri length of about 16 to 18 inches. The handle is made of camel bone, rosewood and buffalo horn and has a genuinely beautiful finish. Three thick polished rivets keep the handle securely attached to the tang. It comes with an "accompanying" smaller knife, which is about 5 inch long, full tang as well and has a rosewood handle with two rivets. The spine of both knives is slightly rounded and at its thickest point is about 8 mm and the smaller knife is about 6 mm thick. Both knives have extended finger guards on the edge side that your fingers press against and flat jimping on the top for your thumb to apply extra pressure if needed. This, plus a comfortable and ergonomically shaped handle, makes this Kukri knife a joy to wield and chop with. The sheath is made of thick cowhide leather, making it strong and durable. It is double stitched. Belt loops allow the knife to hang low enough for ease of movement and slide into a comfortable position most of the time. Sheath is very tight and firm and securely keeps both knives in place. *** TL;DR *** If you want a Kukri knife that is both functional and looks great, this is an excellent choice. It's a bit expensive running at around $220 but if you consider that you are getting authentic handcrafted full-tang steel knives with a camel bone and rosewood handles in a nice leather sheath, this price wouldn't seem that high. This is a perfect purchase for yourself or to gift it to someone else. It's also a beautiful piece of art that's worth displaying on a stand. This knife deserves a solid 5 stars from me for its combination of beauty, quality, and price. You probably can find a lot of other similar knives for lots cheaper but it's hard to find a handmade quality piece like this one. +++ Pros +++ 1) Beautifully handcrafted Kukri knife. 2) Comes with an "accompanying" smaller knife. 3) Both knives are full-tang. 3) Sharp out of the box, retains edge well. 4) Handle is made of camel bone, rosewood, and buffalo horn. 5) Sturdy leather sheath with pretty embossment. 6) High-carbon steel, hardness is around 60HRC. 7) Well worth the price asked! --- Cons --- 1) Not stainless steel, can rust if not maintained properly.

I love this knife, best one I've owned. Well made/looks great/feels great to hold/nice finish/everything well aligned. It's so much better then my old kukri. Even the sheath is nice on this one, I can actually slide it in and out smoothly. I also love the small aux knife.
