Not mine but I think I recognize it, if so it has a beautiful brown scabbard that is so very excellently made and a slew of little tools like the Hanuman does.:D But I ain't sayin nuthin more.:p
 
I've wanted that khukuri too, and I know who owns it. It's a beauty, and I wish BirGorkha still made 20" sirupatis like that.

Look at it--scrolled buttcap, regular habaki sans cho creep, convex edge, and a proportional handle. That's what a sirupati should be.

Danny, I think you're out of luck. That khukuri is owned by the daughter of one of the original forumites, so I don't think it'll ever be offered up for sale.
 
I guess it belongs to either Howard Wallace or Berkeley. Anyhow .. I might be wrong! It is a beautiful special order 20" Sirupati which was made during shop1 period. It has a non-habaki bolster and scrolled buttcap (silver).
 
This is actually an optical illusion. If you look closely you can see a [cottage?]. I wish I could photograph this well.

Perhaps we found a new line of special orders. Take this design and apply it to whatever type is requested and payed for.
