Man, I'm tempted to get that tarwar. Looks just like Rajkumar's.

Oh I didn't notice you sent the email prior.

Auntie please disregard my email for the Ganga Ram.

Sorry about that blade. I'll be faster next time.

Knew that wouldn't last. It's exactly what a few people have been asking for.

Right. I thought I was all over that one. I was even going to order two more sheaths for my other two. I'll wait for another grs, m43 or cak. From what I read the GRS would be the better chopper yes? I'm starting to question my YCS as my outdoors/camping tool based on some of the commentary here. I still think its an awesome blade and seemed sturdy and choppy enough but if it wasn't made for field use I don't want to push it's limits.

BTW. Blade I sent another email asking to disregard my request for the GRS. Awesome catch.

I wouldn't worry too much about the YCS. As long as testing to destruction isn't part of your outdoors/camping tool plans it should work fine.

That's part of the DOTD experience; if you're the faster shark the rest of us accept we lost out with no ill will.
 
That Tarwar is breathtaking. Your children's children's children will be passing it down:eek:
 
thanks for taking that GRS away. it looks nice, but i really need to hold out for an 18" or bigger BC or maybe a super CAK.
 
Not many Bhanduk knives around.
Here's some backstory:

Rajkumar Kami has created an amazing knife and handle that will just astound
all of you when you see it; the Chitlangi Bhanduk knife.

For your information, his name, Rajkumar, means "Prince" and "Bhanduk"
means Gun, which perfectly describes the knife handle. It looks like a gun handle. Rajkumar made both the sharp blade and the amazing handle..

He lived in the hilly area of Nepal and used this same knife for protection.
When he came to HI, he thought he would make one for your protection. I only have one Chitlangi Bhanduk knife from HI's Prince, Rajkumar, so it is definitely "First Come, First Served!"

This knife is so unusual and beautiful, that I now know why he picked the Himalayan Prince knife to make for one of your collections.

Another great Chitlangi by Tirtha. The Bhanduk is one mean looking but pretty blade. I hate sticking to a budget.
 
That Bhanduk knife is just amazing. I would have been on that in a second if I had the $. What beautiful work by Rajkumar, and also looks strong as can be.

Someone help me out here: have all the new Tarwars been full chiruwa handle? I have two older ones and they are not pinned handles. In the longer swords the chiruwa tang really helps balance the blade.

I'll repeat from the other day, and can't believe that this Tarwar is still available. Funny how some knives get snapped up in seconds and the others have to go thru 3 or 4 DOTD to get sold. The only "blem" about this is a slightly loose scabbard, which is a 30 second fix.

If someone buys it and wants a peice of scrap leather to glue in the throat to snug it up let me know.

No Worries MobileNinja.

This will be my first Kuhkri & HI item.
I'm really excited luck was with me today.

I ordered a 15" villager GRS yesterday as well, also my first HI item and kuhkri (well, not couting my father's 40+ year old khukri that I borrow occasionally). I hope mine is as pretty as yours!
