All of these are make by Bura, the best kami in Nepal.

top -- A Berk Special or Dui Chirra. 21.75 inches and 2 pounds of dynamite khukuri. Excellently crafted. Six small tools as shown with antler handles. Top quality brown leather scabbard very well done by village sarki. They don't get much better than this. Only thing wrong with this entire rig is about five minutes worth of rust. Take this one home for $195 and you have an UBBB on your hands.

center -- 20 inch 21 ounce Kobra by the Old Master. Very well done and not a thing wrong with this rig. UBBB at $60 delivered to your door.

bottom -- Probably the best all round khukuri we sell, the 16.5" WWII model and this one weighs in at about 22 ounces. The fit and finish are fine, edge hard. Good karda and chakma and fine scabbard by village sarki. The only thing I don't like about this rig is the edge is a little higher grind on the left side than right. Because of this I'll send it out for $50 even. Edges should be the same both sides. Bura hurried on this one. Still guaranteed for life even if the egdes are not the same on each side.

Hey Bill?

Is that Wisconsin antler, or U.S. antler? cool. lovely knives. Bura is a remarkable man. Any trace of his illness? He seems to have made a complete recovery.

:)
 
I can't tell ivory from deer horn so don't expect an answer to your question about origin of antler.

Bura is taking his meds and staying active and well. Far cry from what we thought was a brain tumor a couple of years ago. He's a tough little guy.
 
Yeah real nice! Do hope Buras doing well. From the looks of these khuks he can't be doing too bad! :)
 
Sigh. Wish I were rich. Or totally irresponsible. Both would be nice.
 
Working on 11 lifetimes. :p

My HIKV resistance wilts when I see anything offered by Bura. :D
