I agree River Rat. That bonecutter is something. I love the blade shape. I'd like to see that around 15-16" and with a straighter handle...something with less flare on the end.
 
I've seen the other bonecutters for sale but this blade seems to be more pleasing the eye.
 
The Baby Bonecutter is definately pleasing to the eye. Anyone who does not have a Tarwar should consider one. They are awesome blades.
 
When (if) I get a return on my tax, I will ask Aunty for a Bura-made Tarwar with a full tang longer handle and slightly wider blade to fit my height and build. ie short and fat LOL!!!

The da Dao i have is not for cutting and the HI Tarwar (with slight modifications) would be the bee's knees.
 
I can relate Titus, I am able to get 2 hands on my Tarwar just barely. But is is my favorite HI blade to date.
 
I really like all the knives posted today, though the Tarwar and JKM-1 stand out the most to me. I wish I had the cash. The things I would do with that Tarwar!!!........

I also use two hands on my Bura Tarwar.... very comfortable. Its such an awesome blade - has to be held in hand to fully appreciate what a good feel it has to it.

Hey - just received my first JKM-1 yesterday.... very nice "little" knife. I put the quotation marks around "little" cuz I mean little relative to the vast majority of HI products. It dwarfs my Fallkniven H-1 so its by no means a weenie of a blade. Blade is a full 6" long, 1.5" deep & 1/4" thick with a tapered full tang. Excellent knife for the price.... very happy with it!
 
Anyone have thoughts about the pro's and con's of villager finish over full polish on the Tarwar?
 
I personally like the villager finish more than the shiny. Just has "the look."

E-mail sent on the Tarwar.
 
Got the Tarwar. I REALLY like the villager finish as it's not as shiny. I may get a bit more linseed oil on the handle but I like the duller wood finish versus the lacquered look. Nice blade!

IMO you got a great blade ...pick of the week!:thumbup:
 
Just wanted to share my thoughts on a BBC (baby bonecutter). It's compact and *stout* -- the ratio of length to thickness is such that, given its full tang, you feel like you can pry boulders out of a hillside with this one. The handle is a touch smaller than would have been ideal for my size 9 hand, but definitely usable.

I got the BBC for my son to use as his first khukuri in a few years, but it would make a heck of a hard use belt knife for an adult.
