Big stabbie, little stabbie
There's a Cold Steel Kukri machete, a design obviously influenced by the Kukri carried by the infamous Gurkha warriors, and a CRKT M16-01Z EDC (Every Day Carry) folding knife. I've wanted a Kukri for about as long as I can remember, and when Mad Saint Jack (curse you!) posted links to some of the Cold Steel offerings, I went looking. Found this one at - of all places - Amazon (yay free shipping!) and added the CRKT on a whim to fill out the $25 needed for free shipping (okay, I went over a bit...)
The CRKT has joined the rotation as an EDC knife; the Kukru, well, not so much...
That is all.

Sweeeeeet. Did the big one come with an instruction label? You know, something like "Instant Badass: Just add Gurkha."
Heh, we've had that Kukri machete for ages. Dunno that I've ever actually used it for anything, but yea it's cool as heck.
I would venture to correct your adjective by suggesting the Gurkha's are "famous" versus "infamous."
I've had one of those suckers (the CS Kukri Machete) for years. Used to to do a lot of brush clearing and tree limbing when I moved into my house. With the right edge, that blade will make short work of 2" diameter pine limbs.
+1 more on ownership of a CS Kukri Machete.
Infamous=more than famous. Right. Right?

These blades are well worth the shipping charge, I have some with more on the way.
