Sorry, Mohd, but I have a 12" cracked horn handled Shop 1, a 15" wood handled Shop 1 repaired by Pala, and a 20" horn Shop 1. And I think I can get red buffalo horn big enough for the 20". No problem getting it big enough for the 12 and 15., then I can recover the scabbards in a nice matching red or in white...

Correct, mohd, and there's more to throwing a khukuri. Its curved shape might aerodynamically bring back while in the air directly to the thrower! Very dangerous.
Or it might not return. Dangerous also.
Okay, Mad Max 2 was a good movie for some hours of weekend.

Mohd, the BirGorkha is still better than the old shop 1.

Pakcik Bill.
The reason behind my thread is purely because I'm looking for lighter blade. Comparatively (I guess) most of Birgorkha made Khuks are heavier than Shop #1 Khuks.
I am sort of skinny type with 5' 4" frame ... just experienced muscle inflamation at my right arm after some workout with GRS! LOL! ... still under massage treatment for the time being!

Your GRS troubles you?
... I think I can help you a bit in another way, for free!
Seriously, think of an average Nepalese's frame. And HI khukuris, even bigger ones are made to fit them. Unless you think you are extremely short by Nepalese standard, it's not your frame but your too much wielding the khukuri that pumps up your arm. I remember one of Uncle Bill's advice "Make your khukuri do the job."

I guess you are right! How about my 115 lbs (about 53 kgs) weight in my 5'4" body? Am I underweight? ... and the size of my arm is slightly bigger than the size of GRS wood handle!
Pakcik Bill.
I love all your HI Shop #1, Shop #2, Birgorkha & Villager Khuks! The beauty is there! The strength is also there! The functionality is there! The practicality is also there! All my friends down here called me as a GILA KHUKURI (Khukurinut)! 20" Kumar Kobraaaa ...! Insyaa-Allaah! I guess it will be another special Khuk for me!
