I'll let ndog tell you so you can be more confused.

A Dui Chirra has two wide Chirra running the length of the blade.
A CAK has one that can be smaller near the spine or it can be one running the length of the blade.
A Tin Chirra has 3 running the length of the blade

Hey now!!! I heard that!! It my job to keep them supermoditaters on their toes Confusion is an Art! Sometimes art is confusion. What does that have to do with Kuhkris? I dont know? Confused yet? Yall want to know what the difference between a Khukuri and a Kukri is?

Hot doggit there it is! I knew i seen it somewhere!

In the photos above, both seem to have two Chirra to me. Is it a very subtle difference that is hard to see? So in reality the Dui Chirra has a 2nd Chirra but the CAK actually has only a flat portion?

You pretty much have the idea.
Notice how in the first picture, the CAK has that one chirra? On HI's it is a small back hollow....which is what "Ang Khola" means.

Now, some people call khukuri with one chirra going the full length of the blade like the DC an Ang Khola. But I prefer not to, as to me it's not a true back hollow like on the HI CAK. In the FAQ diagram in ndogs post up there, That first one is what I'm talking about. Some would call it a DC, some would call it an AK depending on who youre talking to. To me I would prefer to call it an Ek (1) chirra, just to try to eliminate some of the confusion.

Are you following me?, or are you still or more confused.
