I got my first Ang Khola!!

I got a 19" AK by Bura yesterday. It is really nice. The fullering is just beautiful. I can't wait to take it out this weekend and chop something up with it. I will post an after action review afterwards. A real nice surprise was the sheath has a nicely tooled design on it. There is a sun above the frog and a bird with outsretched wings beneath it. Any one know what their significance is or what they are representing?

Sun (surya) and moon (chandra) are traditional symbols for the Kingdom of Nepal. Pheasant (daphne) is the national bird - Uncle Bill says considerable artistic license often goes into its portrayal, so it may not look too much like any pheasants you've seen before
