The bulky bevel also works as an “I Beam” system where it absorbs the impact and gives less tension to the blade and also cuts down unnecessary weight of the blade. The wooden handle is also nicely made for easier grip. The handle’s shape flares as it finishes towards the butt cap and has a blocker to save hand sleep on the edge khukuri.
