Here it is, the Uncle Bill Especiale. It is 18 inches overall, 2 inches wide, 1/2 inch thick and weighs 1 lb & 14 oz. Khukuri, scabbard, karda, chakma and final version of HI superfrog all rate 10 out of 10. What more can I say?

Has anybody every seen a khukuri shaped like this one?

If you'd like a UBE the price will be $195. It will not have the inspcription on it but the little crossed khukuris will be standard on this model.

Email or call if interested.

Khukuri FAQ
 
There's something new: a khukuri with a nogales design (or so it looks that way). I wonder if the design would hamper chopping ability any. Have any of the kamis tested it yet?
 
Just looking at this khukuri reminds me of a skinning knife that got bent in the middle. I think a bit more belly might be in order, but for those who do get one, I would love to hear how this slashes and chops. It definitely has attitude.

I definitely like this one. It's either Persian or Nogales influence. Whichever it is, it grabs my attention.

This new critter reminds me of CS MTC model. It was more fat and ugly, now discontinued.

What impressed me more was the design of chakma and karda. They have same shape as their "mother" khukuri. Kamis have well balanced sense of aesthetic and professionalism!

Uncle Bill, is this style of khukuri blade been around Nepal for a while or is this something brand new that the kamis came up with?

I'd love to have one, but the Kothimoda comes first.
