#khukri

[nivialku7]

@punkp3rcyjacks0n I’m now wondering if giving Percy a khukri instead of the chosen axe/hammer combo would have been a better choice.

For one thing, it’s a machete so closer to the canon sword while still maintaining a unique shape and style from canon

It’s also a signature weapon of the Gurkha, a fascinating and frankly cool group of warriors from Nepal who have a rich military history.

Since Dionysus has such a deep connection to India that gives my white ass the excuse to connect a weapon developed a full millennium after the height of Hellenic worship to the god.

Frankly, it’s cool as hell and it’s a chopping weapon and if I keep writing this fic for long enough I might have to put one in the hands of my Percy.

This #kukri finished out well. Off to its new home. It was a quick but fun build. Thanks to my #forgedinfire buddy @angrygiantforge for helping me keep this moving in my shop. The sheath work was fun and I do enjoy working themes into projects.

Awesome Khukri style Machete. Burma Padauk Handle. 1080 Spring aster. 10" Blade. How's that for a pack blade? #bushcrafting #bushcraftgear #bushcrafters #bushcraft #bushcrafteknife #knivesinnature #buffaloskull #animalskull #campinggear #optputside #etsygifts #bushcrafttools #bushcraftskills #khukri #kukri #kukriknife #beaboutthatlife #batl #bladeshow #bladesport #machete #machetecrew #machetekills #machetes #machetemadness #machetestyle

Gotta love those Kooky Kukris. Both are about 16" long with 10" blades. The top kuhkri is forged from 1095 with a bocote handle and the bottom is forhed from W-2 with marble wood. Both have brass pins. #khukri #bladesmith #blacksmith #handforged #bushcraft #macabeemetals

Military Kukri, Early 20th Century

A military kukri from WW1-1930s date, with the regulation scabbard and accompanying karda and chakmak. The blade is in good condition and solid in the hilt, the pommel cap and pommel have a little damage which probably occurred during service. A nice example and well kept.
