I am sorry for the large picture:o
 
I can't believe the price of that Chitlangi. I remember when you couldn't GET Chitlangis; they were suffering from rarity, like the M43's later, and if a blem showed up you'd pay 135 easy and HAPPY. That's what I did.
This one weighs 27 ounces so it's not really a fighter, more of a slender worker.
You'll get some work out of that Sirupate at 29 ounces and 22" too, though it's lighter per inch.

I like the look of the non polished, matte handle Kumar Karda.

Munk,

No kidding at 18" and 27 oz it must have an unbelievable spine. I may not be able to resist that one. Always wanted one and dont have one.
 
The handle for one thing. The Chitlangis usually have a bit of a fuller on them and maybe are about heavier per inch of length but of course they vary
 
I'd have put the Chitlangis normally lighter than the Sirupate, which used to be the worker of the fighting blade family. The Chit's have the wonderful pronounced bell handle. And fullers, as Hollow mentioned. Jim, mine is 19" and weighs 25.5 or so ounces, not that much different from this one. You can definately tell the weight when you handle one of the more common, lighter chitlangis. I chopped a 8" diameter Pine down with my chit.

Dil Bowie?

First time I see one. I have a crappy connection and not a lot of money so I look less often than I used to.

Anyway, model approved :thumbup:
 
The fullers would make the chits stronger/ stiffer than a similar wieght blade I believe. Do the efect chopping in any way? Does the bell handle serve any functional purpose or does it just look different?
 
How long is the handle on the sword?
It looks like the long-handled custom sword I ordered...
The original tibetan sword had a 9" handle, right?

Munk,

You're killing me. Looks like it's still unsold too! Trying to hold back but I love the handle too......
 
That tibetan sword looks like the twin of mine exept that mine was horn handles (same carving though). I think the handle is about 10" Danny. An excelent choice for whoever gets it.
 
"Does the bell handle serve any functional purpose or does it just look different?" -mpteach

The martial artists here would be able to answer that. Many of the lighter 'fighter' style khuks have the pronounced bell handle. It helps keep the blade in your grasp.
I've thought you can almost throw the knife, snap it, knowing the bell would prevent the blade from leaving your hand.

Those Dil Bowies (or D2?) are very nice knives. Very solid and feel good in the hand.
