Dharan Baby khuks

[Kazeryu]

I did a search on Dharan and only found out that he seems to make nothing but biltons and baby chits in the 8"-9" range. Can anyone tell me a bit about his work while I'm waiting for my metal handled baby chit to arrive?

I have 5 of his knives, listed here. They are very workmanlike. You are right in that he only does the smaller stuff as far as I know, and is the only Kami to regularly work in aluminium.

The 10.5" baby chit is my favorite, as as far as I know it was on off-size for him, and on that one only he made a tiny karda and chakma to accompany the blade. The whole rig is very well done.

7" 2.6 oz. Standard Bilton Dharan Aluminium
9" 6.3 oz. Standard Bilton Dharan Aluminium
9" 6 oz. Baby Chitlangi Dharan Satisal Wood
9" 6.5 oz. Baby Chitlangi Dharan Aluminium
10.5" 7 oz. Baby Chitlangi Dharan Buffalo Horn

Regards,

Norm
