The 4 letter "B"-word

[Stan S.]

Sorry guys, the item was shipped yesterday. I hope to come across another one in the future, hopefully in a better condition

Side point, but I'd like to point out a much cheaper weapon, Cold Steel's "Two-handed kukri machete." Although I don't know how the bhuj balances, the two designs are broadly similar.

If you watch the video, you see that the machete can be thrown like a spear, so I suspect a bhuj could be thrown as well. Personally, I'd suggest that it might be better to experiment with the two-handed kuk than with an antique, if anyone wants to do some experiments....

My 0.002 cents,

Being that I had a chance to handle this bhuj, I can say that I was quite surprised by how light weight it is. Not super effective as an axe but would be great as a stabbing and slashing weapon. Despite its light weight it is still rather top heavy, so probably wouldn't fly well
