15" Balance by Sgt Karka. Small handle mod.

I have named her......"Magic". I could think of no other word to describe how it feels to me in use.

Any one care to take a guess at what I used as a keeper?

Is Sgt Karka still visiting the shops? I certianly hope so.

Beautiful.

Lizardbone?

Beautiful, with a nice mod.


But, sadly, I fear your report reflects the on-set of HIKV. Please contact your local mental health authority immediately; or, barring that...these people: Himalayan Imports, manufacturer of the finest khukris in the world.

Thanks.

Yep. She's a beauty. Exactly what did you do to mod it?

 

[lizzardbone]

Thanks for the compliments.


aproy,
Removed top point of rear flare on pommel and recontured it to a low hump and smmoothed to a broad radius. Recontoured butt plate to match and resecured with two part epoxy. Fabricated new keeper from .45ACP case head.
The new shape eliminates the dorsal point of the pommel flare digging into the palm of my hand.......................I think i used the word "dorsal" and "pommel" correctly?!!??

That is a handle mod I like to do to my heavy users. In fact, I did that same mod to the first Samsher, the one that I was given as a gift. And also to a couple of non-HI khuks. I've never removed the buttcap to do it though. That, sir, was brave. Good job.
