Hello All
I have been using my on line time for study
but I had to try out this 23"Village Chainpuri.Rusty hit the nail on the head with the weight to length ratio,that is,what caught my attention.When I saw it I had to have it

every body under stands.Only 26oz at 23" what else could I do?I assumed it was 3/8"thick but it is a 7/16"thick,17"long blade and a dream to swing.I went through light brush and chopped up 2"to 3" tree limbs with the same easy swing.This K is fun to use,which to me is every thing.I have worked out the chips in the handle and it looks just fine.The K is light enough for belt carry and the blade is not too long to draw with one hand.This K is a user and you can bet I'm going to use it.
Thanks Bill for another great Khukuri at a great price.

Ray, I'm glad you're enjoying your villager. But what I find interesting is that we all seem to enjoy each and every one of our khuks, though perhaps each in a different way. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I've never met an HI khuk that I didn't like, and I'm sure most HIKV sufferers feel the same way.
 
Thats true Steve we all feel the same way.
These days modern science can isolate a gene that is the cause of the desease.Maybe some day they will find ours but untill then we are just going to have to buy Khukuris.

Ray, congratulations on the Chainpuri. It is one of the few styles I don't have which I would like to get an excellent 17-18 inch example for my collection.

HIKV may be genetic, but certainly it is aggravated by an iron deficiency.

You would like one also and I am very sure that Jim really needs at least one, maybe two so one can keep the other company.These are big and nasty too.
