How long is it going to be?

Just my opinion, but you might be better off calling it a tanto or wakizashi, as the kukri has a straight handle, and the blade's straight for a little bit before curving.

Anyway, good luck.

If you make one of these successfully and I like it, I plan to commission one from you. I'd love to have a kukri.

Also, Kukhri are only about 20inchs. though that design closer resembles either a khopesh or a greek Xiphos.

Name aside... what core are you aiming for? I would love to see this thing when finished.

Will post pics soon. I finished it the other day, and although I opted out of a crossguard I really like how it looks and handles. Core is 0.5 SCH 40 PVC.

And yeah, I suppose its more of a xiphos, but I was inspired by the kukri, lol!

meant to ask findarato, and if it is also pvc, cap it, wear gloves, and pour boiling water down the pipe and bend it some

best bet on curved fiberglass to do to what angus has suggested, go to lowes and pick up a fiberglass kit. take some balsa wood and shape it to how u want your core, then apply the fiberglass for a strong custom shape

Or just build it using the Sandwich style.

That is awesomesauce. And what's this I hear about fiberglass kits and balsa? How does this work? And I don't really know anyone from Haven other than Fallen Clan members, but I wanna know how to make those smexy, smexy weapons. Post a tutorial? Pwease? Twisted Evil

i'd pm angus for full details, but from what i remember him telling me, you take a strip of balsa and carve it to your desired core, then apply the fiberglass in some form, and bake it if i remember...but yeah point is custom shapes that will last
