I recently ordered a 15" sirupati and was shipped a 12" by mistake. I must admit that since I'm used to my 20" AK and G.S., I scoffed at the little blade. I even emailed uncle Bill and said "I'm Sending that little khuk back its too small for my hand!". Well, (and I'm sure this is no great shocker to anyone who's handled one)I made the fatal mistake of holding the 12", and swinging it around and........you know the rest. I've now got a 15", and 20" in the air. Seriously, this little khuk is flawless--what a beauty! Rusty: now I get why you love the 12 sirupati. By the way, I did a mini chop test against my cold steel tanto (basically same size), and not surprisingly the khuk blew it away. Anyone else fall for this great little khuk?

Rob, to my way of thinking, any HI khuk is a good khuk. If I had the money and the facility to display them, I would own one of every size and style khukuri Uncle Bill offers.
 
How long is the blade, and also the handle, on the 12" & 15".
I've come to appreciate the BAS as a good "all around" khukuri mainly because of the larger handle size.
 
Blade on mine is about 8 1/2", handle 4 1/4" on the 12" and 10" blade with 4 3/4" handle on the 15".

Ma'am, I DID NOT call you an unfit mother.
The judge did that in this court order.
