Here's pics of my latest purchase. This is a 43 inch Khukuri, the kind they use for chopping off ox heads with one blow. My parents have been living in Katmandu for several years and custom ordered this monster for me. It was made by Khukuri House in Katmandu, the outfit that makes the Kuks for the military. According to my mom they're the only shop in town that will not lower their prices if you haggle with them. In the rest of the shops you can pick up regular Kuks for $4 or $5 American.
Anyhow, here it is all polished and waxed. For a sense of scale the knife below it is a 15 inch Sirupate.
