Here is a ten out of ten Ganga Ram special made by Bura. The problem with this rig is the handle took a hit somewhere during shipment and has a small ding on the end of buttcap and a very small chip gone from handle tip. Completely useable as it but can be repaired by filling chipped area with epoxy and a little hammering to take the ding out of the end of the buttcap.

This is a 21 inch, 3 pound effort by probably the best kami in Nepal and it is yours for $150 delivered to your door. The perfect version of this knife is now selling for $195. Bura does not do the bone inlay nor does he do any carving on the handle of big knife or karda and chakma. He does less work and does it much faster than Ganga did so price has been adjusted accordingly.

Call or email if interested.

Now that blade ought to have the split tail of the maccha khuk. Not the scabbard, but the blade shape reminds me of a whale, so what better than to carve the tail of a whale for a handle end?
