    really.. thats a shame

    i did hear that the cold steel San Mai was a bad combo but mostly by people that cant afford one...

    ever heard of a warranty!

    indeed it is, but not 25 times better IMHO, and my kukri does all i ask of it.
    the cold steel kit is excellent, but some of their stuff is extortionately priced.

    couldn't agree more. they have this idea that collectors will spend £500 on a blade even though its mass produced!

    anything coldsteel up to £120 is the mark for value...

    i spent £35 on my bushman blade and its semi indestructable, forged carbon steel......

    imo the san mai is to hard
    a chopper should not be harder than 59 rhc to make sure it doesn't chip
    i would go for the cheaper carbon cold steel gurkha kukri
    better and cheaper
