I'd like to trade my horn akb for that one.. nice...... !!
 
That malla at 90 bucks is a steal! Someone needs to jump on that deal. I would if I didn't already own one like it.

Then they would be mistaken, because they actually look more like the old 18th century Nepalese Armory Bhojpure khukuri that were sold thru AC awhile back.

I agree, very nice lines on today's Malla. The December 10th DOTD had a Malla that also looked very well made but reminded me somewhat of the knockoffs (with the big cho, big ring in the grip, and no bolster):

The Sirupati is gorgeous. I wouldn't mind owning another one to be honest, I really took a liking to my first. I just wish the blade had a wee bit more belly to it...
 
It is substantial. 18" and 36oz makes for good specifications. It is just too much of an angle for me.

I was late to snatch this. Somewhere there was a Dotd on 2008 a Chiruwa BAS was made without the bolster and it was argued that this design indeed is way stronger than the one bolstered due to the cut-out needed to accommodate the steel ring

The only setback i would think is the rust setting in between the wedge of steel and wood, which could easily be sealed with the silicone-based adhesives. (i tried it and never worried about moisture setting in)

Whoever snatch the earlier Malla, please do a review and let us know! :D
 
I emailed Auntie several hours ago to see if the Malla is available. If it's still there, I'll take it gladly. It's calling to me loudly. A Siren song I guess since my wife will kill me with it. I haven't heard back though, so who knows. If I get it, I'll do a review. Take care.
