Hi Folks Have A Question For Those In The Know!
Ordered A 22" Chitlangi Blem By Sher, Only Has A Single Fuller
And Is Labeled 21" Sotang Model, Every Detail As A Chitlangi But
Single Fuller! Is This A New Model Or What? Wonderful Workmanship
I'm Just Curious! Thanks For Any Info,God Bless All!
 
It isn't a Gelbu Special? Is the buttcap bulged or flat? Bulged is unique to the Chitlangi (and Chainpuri).
 
Who called it a Chitlangi first, or were you asking if that's what it is?
Could be a Chainpuri as the Chitlangi has a Chainpuri handle except it's covered entirely with metal.
 
let me kow if it bugs you, I have generously relieived others of such uh, oddities!

I like the furniture of the Chit, but the weight and disposition of the GS blade. Sounds like a winning combo.
 
No I Love It, Its A Chitlangi But Only Has A Single Fuller Is That
Strange Or Common? Thanks for all the Info!

Randy all the Chits that i know of are Dui Chiarra or two fullers so what you have is a variant evidently.
That could be good or bad depending on how the weight and balance is. Probably similar to a Gelbu Special with their single fuller.

Is the top of the handle covered entirely in metal?
 
Fizzer,

Here's a link to a thread which details the origin of the chitlangi.

Hope that provides some insight into this super khukuri. I have some with both single and double fullers. The single fuller ones are identified as Sotang. The one I have by Gurkha House (Shop 1) has a single fuller with double row engraving on the sword of Shiva. It also has two kardas and no chakma.
