Good point. I have a Kukri knife mounted near my fireplace I broght back from Nepal pre 9/11. It’s a very ominous looking weapon.

Use it. Live with it. Carry it daily, and find to your amazement what a swell tool and weapon it really is.

The other day in the steak house where one of my kid's pals is a manager, we got the usual flimsy rounded-point, no-edge offerings with our meal. My kid grinned and pulled his folder out of his pocket and popped the blade open with one hand.

I pulled my kukri out, didn't have to *open* it, and had my steak nicely sliced and back in its scabbard almost as a reflex. Naw, kid, THIS is a knife....

LOL! Man, you needed some serious elbow room for that.
