I have a Himalayan Imports 15" Sirupati Khukuri that I'd like to sell. I purchased this khukuri over three years ago. I bought it directly from Himalayan Imports. The Sirupati has a natural water buffalo horn handle. Unfortunately the horn handle did shrink a little with age. The horn had a very thin crack that extended a couple of inches on the grip. The horn also separated a little bit from the end cap. I contacted Himalayan Imports and spoke with the owner. The owner stated that this was totally normal and that it would not cause any issues. The grip is very tight on the blade and has not moved in years. As a precaution I applied a little bit of superglue to the crack and where the horn separated from the end cap. See the pics. The grip has not moved in years and I seriously doubt it ever will.
This is definitely a working knife. It chops amazingly well and carries perfectly on a belt or in a pack. The original sheath, with the two little knives, are included. I can also add a Kagas Katne, mini khukuri, to a trade.
For trades I'm looking for:
-synthetic stock for large ring Mauser
-black leather Glock 17 holster
-Ruger SP101 2 1/4" holster
-wood grips for SP101, prefer boot style
-other Himalayan Imports khukuris
-I'm open to any offers
If interested or you'd like to see some pics send me an email.
