Really Beautiful blade Blues. I've longed for one since the first photo I saw on the forum.

Got a camping trip my 14" Villager is chomping for, but my sirupati is waiting for a bump in the night. Sulky little monster.

Gunmaker - nice avatar: Sugarloaf grest helm with brass cross, right?
Incidentally, I gotta get to Reno for that CCW class. I'd have no trouble at all grabbing a pistol, any pistol, and shooting a deserving blankety-blank. I might have trouble stopping before I emptied all the magazines on hand, but that's a whole 'nother story.
But which khukuri to use? Appropriate in what way?
Would the khuk's use on a ***** dishonor it? Ah nuts - hand me the big battleaxe instead - yeah, the one with the 12" edge.

I also received a Dui Chirra Chitlangi and it has become my favorite khukuri.
The blade is very light and it takes practically no effort to swing. This model would make an outstanding weapon.
The workmanship is outstanding. The double fullers are even and smooth, matching perfectly on both sides of the blade. The sword of shiva with copper?/brass? inlays is simply beautiful.
The handle is a bit slimmer than those on the other HI khukuris that I have handled. This would be perfect for someone with small hands. The buttcap is formed from hammered brass and shows quite a bit of skill in its manufacture.
The karda and chakma are larger than usual and well done.
The tooled leather scabbard is also first rate.
If you are thinking of getting one of these, do it. You won't be sorry.
