I have four Khukuri. One is a cheap copy. And of the three originals, one is for domestic/general household use. The other two are military with one being todays standard issue and the other is WWII. I can tell you right now that grip size is a variable thing, because that WWII Khukuri has a nice big grip on it...Almost too big. And the size and weight of that one...Wow. It is obviously designed as a true secondary weapon in the event of rifle failure. Sort of like comparing bayonets of WWI and bayonets as issued today really. The difference between it and the modern issue is vast, with WWII being more designed for solid chopping and durability and the modern issue while still a quality servicable tool, is really just a general knife. A camp tool.
I am a bit of a fan of the venerable Khukuri.
