Recently won an Himalayan Imports Kobra by Kami Yuvraj(sp) and received it yesterday.The pics speak for themselves,but before I even opened the box my thought was "damn this is heavy." I don't have any scales,but this thing feels more like a Sirupate with a funny cho than anything else 20 inches long and 28 oz. IIRCC.
The blade is pretty good quality coming field-sharp and a few strokes with a 600 grit strop brought the edge out even better. What I find most praise-worthy is how good the handle is,it fits me perfectly. It's not overlarge,or rounded like a hoe handle, nice oval shape and the ring does what it is supposed to do.
I couldn't test it much,but I tested against some palmetto and other yard plants. Either my backswing is improving or this thing kicks ass cutting stuff up it whipped through some thick palmetto with just a hint of drag. First shot is next to a zippo on my workbench,to give a sense of scale.

I wouldn't trade either for anything.
