Ed Schempp folding khukri review

[Mr Blonde]

Nice review, but I have an uneducated sidebar question. What is that "Atwood" tool on your keychain? Looks cool and really useful! Sorry for getting off track.

It's an Atwrench, a custom made keychain tool. You can see more of Peter Atwood's work at: http://www.atwoodknives.com/

I agree that the Schempps really need to be used! It's hard for me not to baby the Barong... but I'm doing my best to put it to work! :D

I have no doubt that any spydie in your collection gets a tougher workout than mine do. :D
I'd love to read about your experiences with the Barong.

Well, that tears it. When I get my bonus next month, I'm getting the Khukri. Then I'll pay bills with the rest

In that case, I really you hope you'll like the Khukuri. It won't pay your bills, but it'll do other chores quite well.

Wouter, thanks for the super cool review, enjoy your new blade :cool:

Greetings,

First of all, nice review and pics!

I've set my eyes on the Khukuri but before I commit, could someone please post (or point me to) a picture of the knife from above? If you happen to have a Para for comparison, that'd be great, but just the Khuk would help a lot. I like the blade shape and negative angle (and the variety of possible grips and what not) a lot but would in general also prefer a thinnish grind as it suits my uses much better. Based on specs this is thinner than Para (3mm vs 4mm), but then again, so is Saver Salt, which compared to Para feels a lot thicker due to how the blades are tapered, ground, etc.

Thanks

Wouter,

Thanks for the video. I wish every review for knives had something like that. It makes it much easier to get an idea of how the knife would handle and what angle the blade sits at when gripping the knife.

Good review. I've been attracted to the design for a while but after seeing that video I know that's a knife that would work well for me.

Hey Vivi what happened to your UKPK videos on youtube? Can you post some sharpening videos again because I want to make my UKPK as sharp as yours. :)

Wouter, you are THE MAN!!! :D :) :D :) :D

I removed all my videos a while back. I could make a video detailing how I sharpen my knives and make a thread for it if you'd like.

I would rather see you do skater tricks on vid.

Hey that would be great, I spent about 20 minutes on sharpening the UKPK but it is still not at the sharpness I want it to be. :confused:

Again thanks for your help: :)

Very interesting review Wouter. Thanks! Thought provoking...this one was not really on my radar, but you put it in the same league as one of my favorite folders, my edc, the Caly3. Great pictures too.
