Very nice kukri for the price!
I was looking for a smaller Kukri for my wife; as my Dad was a collector and user of Kukuri's we already have a at least a dozen. But I wanted a small one for her that wouldn't be a disaster if it was lost.Well, this fit the bill. Shipped directly from Kathmandu, heavy and good quality. Nice handle. Solid tang, traditiona craftsmanship. Quite a good deal for the price.

It’s a bloody good kukris to have in ones possession. Excellent piece of equipment
There is nothing to dislike about this item. In my initial review, I was somewhat too critical and pedantic. The kukris is an excellent buy, and is going to make a good centre piece for my record of service collage. I suggest to all who read my initial review, to ignore all I wrote, as to quote my wife, I should have engaged brain before opening mouth. The work is good, in fact very good. It was well worth the money I spent on it, and if starting the collage again, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy this kukris.

Not worth it....
It’s just spring steel, kind of common, one of the smaller knives wasn’t even sharpened nor did it have an edge ground on it...nothing. I wrote to the seller and got no reply then my card was charged in Hong Kong for a bunch of money so I would stay away from the whole company, and here I thought I was buying something to cool, different and helped out indigenous people, nope! just got screwed.

Belt loop is weak
I wished it was a little longer and the belt loop is very fragile

It's hard to remove and insert to the sheeth. Otherwise it's a good knife.
