It can be thrown in the same way that a child is thrown. So no, it shouldn't be thrown, and throwing a child is a no-no.
For the past two decades, I've had one. The only thing that caused the handle to break was accidentally putting it in the fire, so I made a new one out of epoxy.
Assuming you have excellent cardio fitness and that they are within constant reach for the entire hour (to avoid having to reposition yourself); I'd say there are around 1,800 zombies. The key to success is having good cardio, accuracy, and a razor sharp blade to begin with.
It's a dimension that's not the same as the length and width. I'm surprised you don't understand the concept of thickness.
Selected User Reviews For KA-BAR 2-1249-9 Kukri
I purchased both the Ontario and Kabar kukris. These were supposed to be the best two kukris available for less than $100. The sheath on the kabar kukri is far superior to that of the Ontario kukri. I'd be able to carry it comfortably on a daily basis. I prefer how the Ontario sits on my hip, but the sheath is terrible. The kabar has two retention straps, but the top one can be drawn with the top one unbuttoned, as you can see in the pictures I posted. It is extremely safe. The Ontario has only one and can be drawn even when the retention strap is tucked away. Even if I'm riding a four-wheeler or running, I don't think it'll fall out, but the kabar's extra strap makes it feel more secure. If the kabar sheath was carried on a daily basis, I believe it would last much longer. The Ontario is designed to sit higher on the hip and not hang too low. As the knife gets closer to the body, it becomes less noticeable. The kabar has a swivel ring that allows the knife to hang out from your body a little and not fight gravity. It's far more comfortable, but it hangs lower, making the knife appear much larger and more visible. When mounted this way, it dangles down to my knee. It will also swivel and hang straight down when you sit in a chair with it on. It is more comfortable as a result of this, but it is also more noticeable. The curve on the bottom of the Ontario is much more pronounced. This is more traditional and provides a better sense of balance. Up top, I prefer the kabar's appearance, but when you swing both, you can tell the Ontario is much more balanced and a superior fighting knife, with much faster follow-up swings. The kabar, on the other hand, would be a better chopper for thick branches or small trees. If you look at the photos again, you'll notice that the Ontario has a thicker spine that extends all the way to the tip. The spine becomes a back cut halfway down the blade, and the kabar becomes thinner. This means that the Ontario would be superior if you plan to baton (split firewood) with the knife. Both of these knives have their advantages, and I don't think you could go wrong with either. If the Kabar's balance was a little better and the spine was the same thickness as the Ontario's, it would be ideal, but I believe the Kabar is a better overall package. However, if you only compare the knives themselves (not including the sheath), the Ontario is the superior knife; however, due to the Ontario's poor sheath, I would give the win to Kabar by a hair.
Complete and total garbage. When I first used this knife to chop through light brush, it broke.
Since July 2011, I've been utilizing this kukri. There's no need to repeat what others have said in previous reviews - This blade has proven to be extremely useful in a variety of situations, including clearing downed trees from backcountry roads. It bites hard and feels natural in the hand. br>br>I'm primarily reviewing to demonstrate a different carrying position with the included sheath. A belt can be run through the D-shaped opening. loop and the front retention strap (backside of sheath) in such a way that the knife is horizontally across your lower back (scout style); The blade's edge should be facing the ground, and the handle should be pointing to your left. Unfortunately, using the D-key does not work. Unless you're willing to flip the blade edge, you won't be able to mirror this arrangement and place the handle on your right side. blade retention by relying solely on the front strap. However, for a blade of this size/style, it isn't as much of a problem because most people will use it for longer tasks where it won't be manipulated into and out of the sheath as often.
All I can say is that whenever I swing it, it cuts through whatever it comes into contact with. I've been using it to split and baton hardwood, and it's a beast; I haven't sharpened it yet to see what happens to the edge, and so far there have been no complaints. The more stupid I become, the better it performs. I'm thinking about taking this camping instead of an ax because it's more versatile, and once I ruin it by doing something monumentally stupid, I'll buy another and have no regrets. The cherry on top is that it appears to be something you'd find if you invaded a warrior-dominated country.
This "KaBar-" was just delivered to me. Kukri" a few moments ago, and I'm very happy with the overall quality of this kukri for the money. I recently purchased a SOG- GURKA KUKRI, and the KaBar is unquestionably superior to the SOG model. To be fair, the SOG has some strong points. It costs two-thirds as much as the KaBar and has a better "hack saw" back for ripping and tearing. The KaBar's sheath is one of its drawbacks. It is, without a doubt, the most inexpensive sheath I have ever seen. If this kukri is going to be used for serious duty, an aftermarket "kydex" sheath of some kind is a must. However, it is far preferable for KaBar to invest in the blade's quality rather than the sheath's. I'd give it a 4 1/2 star rating if I could. The kukri has five points, while the sheath has one. (This is the second time I've written a review for this kukr)i I received my second KaBar Kukri today, May 26th, and I'm upgrading my rating to 5 stars. The knife is fantastic, despite the fact that the sheath could be better. I bought the first one as a present for my brother's birthday. And now that I've got mine, I've got more time to re-write it. an analysis Definitely deserving of a five-star rating!.
I bought it with the intention of taking it camping and hiking with me. I believe it will meet those needs due to its small size and good sheath. On my property, I also have overgrown bamboo, so I decided to put it to the test on it. It cut through 1 1/2" - I was pleasantly surprised. 2" bamboo can be swung in a single swing with relative ease. For that job, I had planned on purchasing a larger, heavier parang or golok style machete, but I may not require such a heavy blade to clear the bamboo. My only concern is cleaning the blade without causing damage to the powder coating. It's quite sharp right out of the box, so use it with caution. For added security, I'm thinking of attaching a lanyard to it.
