Tora KTM Premier Indian Mutiny Officers Dui Chirra (Pre-order - batch 23 ETS Mid-End May 21)

The Kukri is very beautiful, a nice hornhandle and good blade. Whilst the Handle has a very sharp edge at the back, wich i sanded down a little for comfort, it has a nice handle. The blade has ever so slightliy warps, only slightly visible and has excellent edge retention and comes razor sharp, you can literally shave yourself when it arrives. The scabbard of mine is quite loose fitting, but when the knife is locked in a forward position, it wont come out when running, so its clinging to the knife enough for me, i will probably fit a leather wedge. The leather of the scabbard is very dry, and quite different from the leather im used to with scabbardds or frogs. It feels rougher and thinner and not aselastic, but is still okay. Its extremely stiff but not elastic like western leather products, maybe thats because of the high humidity air in Nepal? I had to resew the holders for the chakmak and karda, because i pushed too hard and cut the twine. The leather ripped easily, and only after heavy treatment did it star to become more plyable. Also, my scabbard has a little rip in the leather on the backside, thats only slightly visible.Corvin Mehring (Dec 22 2020, 19:17 PM)
