My favorite detail is where the sharpening choil meets the zen pin cut out to form the double notch seen above the handles on historical kukris. Really nice attention to detail by Grant.
Also, the indentions on the sides of the blade are hollow grinds.
I've only had a couple of days with mine, which I ordered razor-sharp. I'm already more cautious, more focused while flipping new knives and it hasn't cut me yet. Despite my unfamiliarity, the knife feels like it already knows its own flow. I could go slow or even hesitate and the knife seems to finish the trick itself.
The weight of knife is pushed out to the end of the handles, and the natural design of the kukri, which allows for better usage of centripetal forces. I suspect that is a big factor for the flow of this design.

The cutout on blade is called a fuller

For me the more expensive balisongs I get the more I appreciate the cheaper options. From $1-30 range to the $100-200 range has far more higher gains in flippability than the slight improvements you get from the range above that. The ranged range is confusing. I mean a cheap pinned trainer or even the cheap bearing options to a bushing trainer will see the biggest improvement as opposed to the material choices after that. Great video.

That thing is beautiful. Have you considered dulling the blade a bit to reduce the bloodshed? lol

Man I wish that thing was legal in Canada

What oil and what oil weight do you use in your empress Medusa? Thanks.

I swear the kukri is everybody’s favorite blade shape in this hobby, despite us never having any actual kukri blade shape bali yet. I plan on making a thread about this, but somebody just needs to bite the bullet and deliver an actual kukri blade by using sandwich design handles with super wide thigh gap, or creating a wholly unique flipper with bent handles just like the CSGO knife weirdos. Release a real kukri bali and I will put the work into getting good with it no matter how weird it is. Til then, hard pass on all of these uh…out of shape bowie blades or whatever the hell
