Nice to see that Bura is back to the standard bolster on the WWII. I really like that one the best today. I have one very similar by Bura with a red chandan chainpuri style handle and habaki bolster. Mine is 1/2" shorter and 1 oz. less and handles like a dream.

I always wanted to get one of those horn inlaid dhankuta scabbards. But when I ordered one Uncle told me they were out and sent me a silver kothimoda scabbard instead. It's pretty and matches the one on the Royal kothimoda, but I love the workmanship on this one. A fantastic deal at $125 off the regular price web site price for this model.

I thought prices were going to go UP, not DOWN. Geez, I'm impressed! Excellent price on the Sirup, and a nice 12" AK. If you're looking for a great backpacking khuk, you couldn't go wrong with that- and it's not often I've seen the small AKs with wood handles.
 
I picked up a couple of "Kantunje my specials" with wood handles a few months ago (one for me, one for my brother in CO). I haven't seen too many of these since. Neat blades.

Very nice Ganga Ram. Not too pointy not too curved just right!

Yes, he's been putting more of a belly to them lhen lately hasn't he, and rounding the tips more? Looks like the old Bura.

Looks more like the picture on the website. I may have to buy a THIRD if they keep making them like that:thumbup:

and..yeah..more BELLY I guess that's actually what I meant not so much less curve in back but a larger cutting area in back.
 
I finally got one from this forum, it took a few trys but persistence paid off the GRS is one of my favorite kuks. I appreciate all the folks on this forum who contribute information I'm still new at this and usually find all the answers I'm looking for with the search function so I rarely write in. Thanks to all I'll be in the back ground. Bob

I'm happy that you found the blade you wanted. There is a lot of information here now and in the old sources. If you have a question about something ask.
You'll find a whole lot of opinions, huh?
