I find it gets harder & harder to find kukris that significantly add to my collection.

But this week was great! amongst others I picked up my first lambendh [long handled, [for an antique anyway.} Angh koala!

And its a beuty! to be honest it feels so good I cant wait to test it! [gently initialy of course. & just in dry clear knot free popler timber.} but will have to wait a week or so for that.

It realy is a dancer, so fast & light & yet feels like so much power as it rolls forward.

That is beautiful! Congrats Spiral. Looks like a head lopper as well. Look forward to your test results. Enjoy!

Thankyou! yes it wasnt meant to cut wood for sure. ;) As it only weights 20 oz. with a blade a fraction under 16 inches. {21in.oa.]

Geez. Thats really pretty Spiral! Thanks for showing it.
 
I don't see the pics or even dreaded red XXXX? Help? I want to revel in Spiral's curvy steel goodness!
 
That really is a beauty! Definitely would not want to be on the business end of that one. ;)
 
Nice Khukuris, thank you
 
Thanks Spiral, I see it now without needing the links you posted.

Oh my. I think that I am in love. :p I want one like that in a bad way! Too bad the kami that made it has been dead for at least 75-100 years, or I'd place an order!

Yep, that fibrous green stuff is a giveaway.

I like the cousins, but the first one that you posted makes my pants fit funny. That's all I got to say about that :D
 
Spotted that one when it briefly appeared (but was gone when I woke up in the morning; couldn't have dreamed it coz I'd pulled a picture onto the desktop!).... couldn't afford a beauty like that anyway :o so I'm glad it went to good hands! :)
 
Thanks Seaice, a quick phone call had it in the post the same day for a bargain price. ;) Otherwise I wouldnt have won it either, I think.

Terry & I have done buisness before. He has some nice kukris occasionly.
