A dumb khukuri question

empty5853 · Jul 8, 2004

Morning All,
I have a question. It's a dumb one I guess but I'll swallow my pride and ask it anyway.

Since I've been coming here I've figured out most of the acronyms for the khukuris.

GRS = Ganga Ram Special
BAS = British Army Special
GS = Gelbu Special
AK = Ang Khola

but what does BDC stand for?

thanks

Mark T.

Bura Dui Chirra, I think...

Bura Dui Churra,

My spelling is off, I am sure, but that IS what it stands for.

It's also sometimes called the "new model" but that's confusing. It's a nice relatively little (10" or 14" total) khukuri with not much cho, a plainer handle, and a simply curved fullered blade with lots of belly. I have the small version, it makes a great kitchen knife.

There are no dumb questions,

only mute khukuris.

Can also be Baby dui chirra.

I've noticed that very often, when someone apologizes for asking a dumb question, it turns out not to be!

How many pieces of string does it take to reach the moon?

Depends on the strings. One can suffice.

Well, duh! It takes twice as many as to get halfway there of course!

i prefere to call the BDC the Bura daily carry...seems to fit.

My, that IS a stupid question. (Actually, it was one I just found the answer to a few days ago, after some research.

)

And, speaking of...

Got my 14" BDC 10 minutes ago. Wood handled, white metal. Tiny bit of rust on the tip, but steel wool and 3 minutes will handle it. Gorgeous, and feels like a real kuk, unlike the 12" Sirupati. I know my friend'll love it.
