A few weeks ago I posted a couple of pics of my Jolla. Received an email this morning asking just how big it was. Am sharing one pic to show you who are not familiar with these little gems, just how small they are. They zip up very nicely and compact.

I can jus imagine bawanna using that in his everyday adventures haha jam a knife, pistol, some cash and some candy in it and you'll be ready to rock!
 
Reminds me of something Howard Wallace wrote:

A traveling rig

Airline regulations for the transport of firearms, company policies, traveling companions, or other factors may make it inconvenient for some to carry firearms on trips.
An alternative that I have experimented with is the 15 - 16 " khukuri in a jola. This length of khukuri will fit conveniently in a jola. The double zippers on the jola can be adjusted so there is a slight opening in the bag over the handle of the khukuri. This conceals the khukuri and allows access to the handle for a draw. The chape on the end of the scabbard must be covered to prevent it from poking through the loose weave of the bag. I use a small square piece of light cardboard, folded in half, then in half again, to produce a small square 1/4 the size of the original piece. I fit this over the tip. The 90 degree angle of the cardboard corner is wide enough to prevent penetration of the bag.

The jola and khukuri can be transported in checked baggage with no notification requirements. Upon arrival at the destination the jola can be removed from the checked luggage and carried. When traveling by car the jola can be placed in the passenger seat and buckled in. This provides easy access, concealment, and security in case of an accident.

I have been using my 16" Udhaipur in this manner. Based on my experience I think a 15" Sirupati or Kobra with a loose sheath would be the ideal khukuri for this type carry. The slim blade and the loose sheath provide for an easy draw. A larger knife like a BAS could be used, but the draw would be a little slower and might require two hands.

The unusual appearance of the jola will not excite apprehension like an IWB holster or a fanny pack. You might, however, be accosted by ladies who want to examine your beautiful purse.

my 16.5 inch ww2, seax and 15" ang khola will fit in my jolla, but my 17.5 Yvsa Cherokee Special and 19" malla are to big.
 
I bet I could carry all sorts of stuff in one of those.

Hope to get one when a darker color one is offered.
 
Pssst. Pssst, Bawanna. "Ancient Nepalese Secret": Fiebling's leather dye will really darken things up. Don't tell anyone I said this, though. I'll deny it!
 
Great post, thank you for sharing
