40" Ganga Ram (Warning: Lots of Pics)

Now THAT's a knife!

Geez Louise, Dave!

Should that be called a "Magna Ram?"

When I saw your new avatar I thought it was one of those "hold the fish away from your body" pictures . . .

As much as I never wear shoes unless I have to, I'd probably NOT go barefoot wearing/using that thing. At a minimum you might stick the chape in your instep . . .

If you are 6'2", and find a 20inch in appropriate proportion to your height/weight, how big a person would one have to be in order for this monster to fit in correct ratio to his height/weight?

It's obvious. Paul Bunyan's bilton khuk was sent to Dave by mistake.

It's fairly sharp, but not frighteningly so. (And honestly, just how sharp does a 7+ lb. khukuri have to be anyway?) I'm considering sharpening it after I get a bit more comfortable handling it. I'd also like to etch it...but it's too large to fit in my sink and I'm not strong enough to hold it out horizontally with just one hand for any length of time. Both sharpening and etching would probably require two people.

In the meantime, if anyone's looking to slay a mythical beast or two, I'm game.
 
Excuse me, I have to go change my clothes - and get a shower too.

At least is isn't an AK.
 
Most beautiful large Khuk ever!!!

One half that size would be a hot seller, I bet...

Congrats!

this has to positively end all further discussion about the usefullness of the phrase; 'now, this is a knife.'

Dead on man, dead on:thumbup: :D

Crocodile Dundee would have wet his croc-leather pants if that guy in the Michael Jackson jacket had pulled THAT out after his switchblade was out-bladed by C.Dundee!
 
It is so large in the pict with Dave that it looks as if someone airbrushed it in as a gag.


A poster said; "one half that size would be a best seller" I thought we had those- the 22" Ganga Ram?

I meant with the scrim handle, traditional bolster, etc.

Tom, have you ever considered trying your hand at scrimshaw? You have an eye for detail and steady hands. I'd bet that you could do a good job of it.

Nope. It's Khukzilla!

I think Heber had a 25" AK that he called Godzilla. If 25" is Godzilla, then that Ganga Ram Extra Special is Monster Island.

I agree with Tom. A 22" fancied GRS would be very nice:)

OMG

Looks like the blade that gave rise to the Legend of the 1" thick khukuri...

I hope the mailman didnt put his back out lugging that monster all the way to your home :)

Dave,

Obviously the kamis don't think we sacrifice water buffalo here in the US.

I wonder just what they think we do sacrifice though?

Hmm... Maybe they did a size comparison online for water buffalo and American Bison and went, "Aw, what the heck."

I'm just scared. Period. If that thing showed up at my house unannouced, I think I would just lay it against the wall, huddle up in the corner in the fetal position, and commence sucking my thumb...

It's dammed pretty, though. Wow.
