I was organizing our storeroom in anticipation for the inbound shipment, and I found two "Balance" Khukuris, so named because the blade and handle portions are equally weighted. So, if you rested it on your finger (sharp side touching the skin - using protection of course), it balances perfectly and won't fall off your finger.

It has a 9 inch blade, a 4 inch handle (buffalo horn) and has the engraving and inlay "sword of shiva" pattern on the blade.

I have two available - one at the SN1 price ($59.00) and one at the mini-jungle price ($49.00). The 49.00 one suffers from a loose buttcap (easily fixable with a bit of epoxy). This WON'T be one of our inventory items. PS: They have the GH logo, but it is only lightly engraved with what looks like a mechanical pencil or something to that effect - definitely an early model GH marked khukuri.

If you want it, just visit our website, order the SN1 or Mini-Jungle (depending on which one you want), and remind me in the comments section what it is you are doing.

Mr Gottlieb , I'd love to have the balanced SN1 , but I don't have a credit card ( they are evil and get you in trouble ) . Is there any way to get one by check ?
 
Edd: Call me about that one too (703-536-5555, ext 101). I take just about every form of payment, except rupies, which as I've learned, I can't trade for ANYTHING outside of Nepal.

Ed: Your $49.00 balance is on the way. Fifty cents worth of epoxy should restore it to full functionality.

Thanks for the prompt service . The check will be in the mail tommorow . I look forward to doing more buisness with you in the future .
 
Edd, same same. If you need advice on handle repair, this is the place to ask it. We have many resident experts (me not among them) here to help.
