Gladiator (Lethal) kukri knife for the life's arena.. Better impact and Greater power

Raw power within, brutal force, lethal blow, deadly consequence, fearsome look are some of the synonymous characters this 12 inch long bladed “Gladiator” holds like that of the true gladiators of the ancient Rome. One of the latest additions of KHHI, it has been unleashed to satisfy the harshest critics and to please the toughest users. Its RAW (straight from charcoal oven) bevel gives the perfect hardened edge needed to soften the hardest opponents, where as its full flat hexagon shaped SIX riveted handle gives the strongest grip needed to endure the abusive usage. Gladiator though reflects an ancient idiom is actually a modern day Kukri Knife forged to slaughter, slay, slash and destroy whatever may come on its way.

Getting back after 2 years

Hello Saroj,

After almost two years of heavy use and even some abuse of the muk and especially the gladiator -which keeps on amazing me- I came back to your site for a fieldknife. The detailed finish and multifunctionallity of the viper is really seducing, so I have a question: is the viper coming to the EU-depot any time soon? If not I will be ordering anyway, but as it seems perfect as it is it would be nice to keep the cost down...

I add a photo or two of the gladiator. After two years of very heavy use in not always the best conditions this work of art has more than proven its worth. This workhorse will be a lifetime companion. Difficult to express all the gratitude I already have felt in so many different situations for having this king of knives around. I might even have a second one some day with some slight adaptations.

Hope to hear from you soon.

All the best,
Roel Vinckens

arrived scary-sharp

Hello Saroj,
Hello all of you at KHHI. Both blades arrived today.

Firstly, let me get rid of two minor issues:

The MUK didn't come with the scabbard that is pictured on your site.The loop to attach the knife safely, even in an upside down position, is missing. This might become a problem in my line of work. And the engraving on the Gladiator is placed on the inside of the blade instead of the outside. Maybe I'm to blame if my communication wasn't clear enough. 

These things out of the way I must say that I am impressed with the quality of the blades! The Gladiator is a real work of art! And it arrived scary-sharp... I can't wait to put it to use! Please pass my sincere congratulations to Tilak. I hope to see this master at work one day.

Many thanks also to young Kiran. The MUK is very well done! It could have arrived at bit sharper, but that gives me a good reason to start fine tuning my convex sharpening techniques...

Both blades will be used at work, on survival and around the house. They will be seen, and surely admired, by military, alpinists, outdoor lovers and passerby's. The interested will be informed about KHHI with nothing but prase, not only upon the blades, but also prase upon your communication and customer care. I for my part will be a lifelong customer at KHHI!

I will leave it at that for the moment. 
I'll be back in a not so distant future for one of your Chukuri styled knives. Or maybe I'll do some of my own designing.

Until then all the best to all of you,
Namaste,
Roel Vinckens, Belgium
