Big old Bura Siru, mmmmmm, purty

Have you read the thread about a Marine using one on a Taliban fellow over in Afghanistan. Ouch!

I missed that one Sarge, it must have been interesting though.

20" Bura sirupati with wood handle was my first from Uncle Bill. Probably the most useful all around khuk I have. That horn handle looks good, though. I read the story of Bob and Bubba. I love stories that have happy endings.

Many thanks for pix and report.

The report from the field.


Fit and finish are excellent, balance is alittle more tip heavy than my 20" GS, but overall very good. The horn handle feels very good in my hand. I like the feel of the horn handles.

As you can see the lines of the scroll work are very straight. The blades lines are very good, I can't find anything wrong with it at all. Chalk it up to Bura for another perfect Khuk.

The edge is very sharp indeed, no need to touch it up.

Sarge,

Just read it.

You know how Marines are with their knives.

I remember that thread. That was a very good story that turned out just like it is supposed to. My 20 incher is my Bura too and, it is one heck of a blade.

Bura is really something and you are right, the 20" Siru is one heck of a blade.

It was a good story. Only an idiot would attack someone with a 20" Siru in their hand.

Just think what would have happened if he really put his wrist into it.
