I can’t carry it concealed. But it does fit under the car seat very nicely. With a blade over 12”s long it’s a little shaky to have it at all legally according to the laws that cover knives. But if I am out camping what can anyone say? I can carry a hatchet for chopping firewood but not a kukri? A kukri works far better than any hatchet and is even comparable to a good axe for cutting wood or felling a tree. It would be interesting to carry it on my belt and see what the reaction would be.

I’ve got a couple I brought back from Nepal. One was made by a smith near Phuplu in the Himalayas and the other was a reproduction military Kukri from Kathmandu. I used the mountain Kukri around the farm (it’s about 14”) to trim branches and it’s fearsome. It’s easy to sharpen (carbon steel) and stays deadly sharp. It just works great and slices through limbs like butter. The Sherpas showed me the correct way to draw it out in case it sliced right through the sheath. They don’t revere their Smiths like we do here.
I think I’ll get my husband one as a gift; Valentine’s Day?
