"Both an EDC knife and a military weapon" A 13.25" EDC knife? Really?

DanimalpharmYes, really. That bit of the description is referring to the Nepalese people's use of the kukri as a utility knife. It's typically worn on the belt and at hand at all times. Often it is paired with two smaller knives of a similar shape and design, one for edge maintenance and another for lighter cutting duties.
My grandfather brought one back from WWII. He was a pilot doing supply runs over the Himalayas and their base camp was in Burma, where the kukri was as common as a pair of shoes. The kukri he brought home was a gift and he used it as a garden tool for decades before passing it along to me.

GentlemanSinThis drop is limited to the US. Definitely a useful tool, I just don't think it is EDC in north america. Try bringing this to the mall. I think it should be described as 'CAN' (Carry As Needed).

DanimalpharmI agree completely. If you go back and read the description, you'll find the bit that mentions EDC is referring to the kukri's traditional use in Nepal. I don't think anyone would suggest this as an EDC item in the U.S. and the description here certainly doesn't.

dgooleyI'm Canadian and I'm picking mine up at my mail drop in Point Roberts, WA. This is EDC outside of cities and towns. If you are in less populated areas, in the woods, you can carry this edc. There is no specific law forbidding it, but it could be questionable as it may cause concern and fear among the public.
