Yeah, there's nothing worse than buying something shoddy when you've paid good money for it.

A Nepali boy is likely to have his own kukri at age of five or so and necessarily becomes skilful in its use long before his manhood.By the time a Gurkha joins the army,the kukri has become a chopping extension of his dominant arm.This is important,because it is not the weight and edge of the weapon that make it so terrible at close quarters so much as the skilled technique of the stroke;it can claim to be almost impossible to parry.
