A storm blew down some big branches over at my parents' house this weekend. Did some choppin' with my Ex-Gurkha Khukuri House khukuri before using the chainsaw on the big stuff. This thing is a beast.

A few swipes with the chakma and it's back to slicing paper

Size comparison with Himalayan Imports khukuri
 
You're comparing sizes between two different size khukuri with vastly different uses.
HI makes all models in various different sizes.
The Chitlangi is not a chopper, it is a fighter. It should not be used for chopping wood.
 
I meant no offense, Karda. I took that pic because those are the only 2 khukuris I own. I love my HI and was not saying the other one is superior in any way.

I just wanted to clear up any misconception for others, philllll. No problem.
 
To be honest the fit & finish on my HI is far superior to my EGKH. But like you said, that model is not made for chopping. I have no qualms beating the crap out of the EGKH. The Chitlangi is just too pretty.
 
That Ex-Gurkha Khukuri is sweet. Looks like you can do some real damage with it. How thicks the blade?
