I got my chainpuri. This was my sixth HI purchase in about the last month, and my wife caught me with the box 
She actually thought it was pretty impressive, as did I.
I really like the handle with the "bell" on the end, I understand that this is a distinguishing feature of the chainpuri. I was surprised by how heavy it was, if only because from what I have read it is one of the lighter HI khuks. I am finally understanding that "lighter" is a relative term with HI products, they are all hell for stout. A Hummer is lighter than a Bradley Fighting Vehicle, but it ain't no wimp.
As always the quality of the blade was outstanding. Decent but not sharp edge. Karda and chakma were normal quality, the karda was actually sharper than the one that came with my WWII. What is the general use for the chainpuri? It certainly isn't as heavy duty as my WWII, but it seems a little heavy to use on light vegetation.
This sounds a little weird, but there is something magical about these HI khuks and knives.
