Appropriate Khukuri?

Because you are some what new to khukuris, I strongly suggest a 15" Ang Khola. It is surprisingly light but powerful.
I started with the BAS and 15" AK but thought they were too small, but now I have both in a work bucket and use them almost exclusively.
 
Sams-I am definetely gonna get a 15 inch khukuri. Right now I have to get a money order sent to Yangdu for the 18.5 inch Chainpuri I got in the dotd. I think a chainpuri is somewhere between a sirupate and a chitlangi??? Probably want to buy a 15 to 16 inch wwII model when funds permit.

Welcome TWBryan! :) The Chainpuri is a cool model, with I believe a Chit handle and Sirupati blade. Congrats on snagging the blade. I bet you'll like it. Make sure to test it out when it arives. Smacking the blade against a stump a few times should do the trick. I smack the spine and both sides of the blade at least 3 times each to test out new blades. This gives me an idea on how much vibration I'll get from hitting a hard object on a glansing blow plus it double checks the blade for any flaws. Which by the way are few and far between. ;)

When you can afford to hi Highly recomend the WWII models. Love mine and use it a lot. :thumbup:

Wildmanh-Thanks for the info, I am sure I will like the blade and will attempt the smacking about test. Right now I am still thinking about a 15 inch khukuri, possible an M43 or WWII or....

Arya-Sorry I won the deal of the day 18.5 inch chainpuri so that will be my first.Probably not my last though.....

Appropriate khukuri?

I prefer a horn handled one with a tux. The black matches my shoes. I save wood handled khuks for casual day at the office.

I don't think there's really an inappropriate khukuri though - and if my office mates disagree, they've been pretty quiet.:D

... well, after that first guy anyway ...:eek:
