BAS with wood hilt arrived

[J W Bensinger]

it is, indeed not an ang khola but a BAS, by Tirtha. Nice little(!?!) khuk.
I was given two other khukuri this week as well, in totally unrelated incidents. A friend brought me a little panawal back from Nepal, and the owner of the woodshop I work a couple days at gave me a noname horn sirupati.
It's a good week when people are randomly giving you khukuri!

Nice, don't see a lot of wood handled BAS kukris.

Indeed. When I saw it I couldn't figure out what it was.
Thought it was a compressed digital pic of a sirupati at first.
