Oh lord. A real Bonecutter.

EMS and DD came within a minute. I'll figure the bank later.
 
No contest - that pumpkin didn't stand a chance. Thanks for the pic Auntie.

Looks like Sgts work alright. Now does Purna Sankher have the invisible and magical touch of Sgt. Khadka? I can't wait to see the blade up close.
 
Grats sno! Thats a real one alright! Bout time for a Bonecutter family pic eh? :thumbup:

I was suspecting mine didn't came alone... But I didn't expect such a big brother.

Mid 30's oz works best for me. If I knew, between the two I would of still pick the 18in X 36oz.

But that 20incher is a beast.
 
Looks like the tin chirra will be heading down to New Zealand :)
Will be my very first kuk...
 
Wow.....sudden change in the exchange rate?......i think you will just look at that one for a while.....i know others would disagree, perhaps, and i am more talking style than function, but the multi-fullered knives just seem to be the kukhuri of kukhuris....outside the issue factory style....i mean of the always handmade look....and just has the shape i expect to see when kukhuri mentioned....

^hahah yes the exchange rate has changed recently, but sadly not for the better!

I like it because it seems so obvious that great skill is required to forge something like that :)
I hope to keep it as a bit of an heirloom. I will test it against some of my other large blades to see what it can do, but I cant see I will do too much more than that with it :)

Cant wait to get my hands on a "real" kuk!
 
Wow, shades of Pearl Harbor....Dear Yangdu launched a sneak attack with this one....sigh....i just received my one-per-month......that one is enough to make me wonder if an M43 and CAK might wait a bit....

I would honestly say as for function of the TTC in comparison to other knives, i think it would have been fairer to select a different one, mainly over bulletproof bashing power.....but if yours anything like mine, you will have a very hefty blade powering a really sharp edge and still should blow away most larger knives even with a loafing blow of mainly blade weight before you learn how to drive the thing.....

Great knives here and apparently it just doesn't stop!

nzedge, fine choice with the TC, I was eyeing it myself. As you mentioned, it is indeed obvious that great skill was required to make these; if you hold the blade down and turn it a little, you can see very clear hammer marks throughout the blade, very cool. Just a heads up, I got my Dui Chirra expecting to use it a couple times, then keep it as a looker, like you said. It's gotten nothing but use now, and I'm even planning a kydex sheath for it. The heavy curve of both blade and handle make for very easy and ergonomic chopping, and the fact that it doesn't weight 3lbs means you can use it for finer tasks and use it all day long.

BC are serious work horses. They are strong choppers with a nose heavy balance. So at 20 inch and 45oz, you need a "healthy" wrist to give the momentum it needs to do its job. The trick is let the mass do the work for you. The best is when you give just enough energy to do the cut (ideally, the blade stops at the impact point) so you don't have to work against the blade to retain what's left of the momentum.

The handle is proportional to the overall size. I'm not shy to use both hands on large Kuks when needed.
