Like Auntie said it's a cute one for your collection.

I suspect it's gonna be like a skinny Pen Knife. Once again for the millionth time I'd love to see that on in person. Might be right handy.

Here's how you fit a Sirupati in 11.5 inches!

For a bit of camparison: the big one is my 25" Sirupati. The little one is my EDC 7" Super Utility Kagas Katne. And below them is a rock and an anvil:D Sorry big Siru is a bit tarnished. She has gotten plenty of use this week.

I had a Bilton for a bit that was just lacking in handle probably ok for its size but not much to hold.

That looks like it has a full grip.

Have to look at a Kagas Katne, its looks like a larger handle too.
 
This might help with some perspective. The Kag is definitely small but the whole knife is only 7" anyway. Its a three finger knife and the handle is about as big around as my thumb. I dont have a Bilton and its a 9 incher and half the weight so would think its handle would be smaller than this Siru. I can get all four finger around the Siru but it could use slightly more girth. My wife loves it! Fits her hand perfect. I may have to part with it:grumpy:. It does need a crack repair. This crack is fairly wide. It would be fine with epoxy repair but this knife may be an experimental opportunity to build a new handle and learn some more about how these knives are contructed. I know "if it aint broke......" But my curious nature will probably win over. Its not a MiniAK but is in its own class. If I have to give it up it will likely be replaced with MAK because of its legal length in Texas. Sure was hard passing that last one up but I had just purchased this one.

BePrepared: That is the small sirupati described by the firs post in this thread - if I am not mistaken.

And your best bet would be to contact Auntie Yangdu and ask her if she has any others in stock.

Best of luck!
