WW1 Officers Angkhola
I left it a while before I wrote a review, I wanted to use the Khukri a couple of times first so I didn't end up posting future updates. When I purchased this Angkhola I suppose I expected it to be similar to my other Angkhola's by HI and KH but it really is rather different. When it arrived, it felt rather lightweight in comparison with the aforementioned and indeed it is rather a lot lighter but not so much as it feels. This is largely down to the rather superior balance the Tora Khukri has. I questioned Simon and Leanne about this perceived lightness, stating that I'd be concerned about doing heavy work with it (I need not have worried, it's more than up to the task) and I was informed that the Angkhola was intended more as a sidearm than a shovel / Tire lever / hammer (usual levels of village Khukri utility) so the lighter handling makes more sense viewed in that light. As I said, I need not have worried; thanks to the Angkhola, all of the Buddleia at the side of my property has now gone and I didn't even need to touch up the edge - remarkable! The only gripe I have is that my particular example has a slight overhang at the cross guard, that is to say that the handle is everso slightly smaller in diameter than the crossguard, an issue I resolved by whipping the upper section of the handle with waxed cotton yarn, looks great and provides even more grip (not that this is an issue). The accompanying scabbard, Karda and chakmak are all excellent, far better than I've been able to purchase to date and considering the cost difference between this and other Amero-khukris out there, it's a travesty that people are buying anything other than real, Nepalese made Khukri's. This is one of the best Angkhola's you can buy at any price.Paul Joyce (30 Aug 2023, 18:51)
