30" ang and 26.5 chiruwa ang pics (large)

[Josh Muller]

here are a few pictures of my 30" ang khola (goliath) and my 26.5 chiruwa ang khola (shiva). as well as a 15" sirupati, 18" ang khola, and busse combat mr. mojo for comparative purposes

30" in hand

the lot of them

30" ak handle in hand(massive 2 handed for me, just about right for my step dad (much bigger hands then mine))

26.5 chiruwa handle in hand

mojo handle in hand (for comparison)

i will sooner or later be getting a 50" janawar katne style khukuri (unknown origin), and a decorative scabbard katana from HI. also hopefully soon i'll have a desert mofo....

so, in regards to the battle mistress being a big knife once i get that 50" janawar, my 26.5" ak will seem reletively small.... when i first got shiva i thought "holy crap this thing is huge..." now i think "you know... this is a weildable size..."

great pics!

Thanks!


does kinda make the mojo seem more like a companion knife, doesn't it....?!?!

 

[Josh Muller]

ya it does...

a note about the handle pics, on my screen (medium size font on IE), the handle shots are 100% size. so when i put my hand up to them, its exactly the same proportions.

First thing I thought when I saw that first pic was "I didnt know they made hand-and-a-half khuks"
How big around is that handle?

 

[Josh Muller]

goliath handle circumfrance= 6" on top portion of handle, 5" under the middle ring
length (bottom to the end of the handle top (where it starts the habaki part) = 8"

shiva handle circumfrance = 5 1/4" top, 4 1/4" under middle ring
length = 6"

edit* man... i should have included the 30" siru in there... when i get my sword/janawar i will

Great pics, thanks for sharing. Makes me want a 30" AK to go along with my 25" even more than I already did.
