Oh how I wish I wasn't broke...:(

Lovin' all three of these today. I would especially LOVE to get that horn-handled Katunje as a mate for my neem wood-handled one.
 
Okay, I've been waiting for a slightly beefier Katunje and don't think I'm going to do any better---plus, this will have the awesome Sher ergonomics, so no point resisting. :)

Amusing Bura Tarwar anecdote: I live next to a big park & sometimes undesirables lurk in the underbrush near the creek across the street from me. I clear the brush with my way-sharp Tarwar (two-handed swing), but only at night so I don't frighten anyone.

So last night I say to my wife, "I leaving the dogs in so I can clear some brush."

She warns, "Be careful - someone got robbed on the creek trail at knife point last night!"

"That's OK, sweetheart - I don't think anyone is going to bother me."

She looks up from her book to see me standing there with Tarwar in hand and says, "oh."
 
Great story Ugly Duck.

I want that bowie so bad, but i recently bought plane tickets so no knives for a while :(
 
Three magnificent Tarwars so far this last week or so ...amazing blade shape on todays example. :)
