Making a Kukri from a Brush Axe
Today in the shop we are making a Kukri...out of an old Brush Axe! Sometimes Devon comes up with a good idea and this was one of those times. I like the idea of the brush axe, but never found a good use for it, until now. I cut the mounts off of the existing blade, before tracing the shape in the sketch book, and designing the blade within that shape. I cut away all the excess, profiled the blade, and ground it to about 1/4” through the flats. Once I determined the center lines, I ground the harpoon clip, and put a 45 degree pre-bevel to center my edge, and then ground the bevels to my pre-determined depth. After drilling the holes for the Corby’s, lanyard tube, and glue penetration, I ran the full heat treat process, quenching at a cherry red, which hardened the blade enough to skate a file. I did my final grinding, and finishing on the blade, then glued and clamped the stabilized black walnut scales the I received from Jesse Alison from Mountain Prevail Knives. Then I shaped and sanded the scales and buffed it to a nice shine. After a quick final sharpen we headed outside to test her skills against some vegetables, branches, and of course a few bottles of water.
