Copied from the other forum ... I guess it's a fifty-fifty chance whether you pick the right one first try....

Wow! That 3rd one down looks like a great fighting khuk. What do you guys think?

John always makes me envious. Barb always thinks I'm sick after looking at pix of John's collection because of my "Green" color.

Rob it looks like a good fighter, but I will bet the 2nd one down will beat it hands down because it won't break your wrist like the other one will with that heavy pommel.

But I still like the looks those have even if they may not be practical for use for us modern humans whatever that means.hehehe...

I would really hate to have to make a decision on which one I would take if John offered to let me have the one I wanted. And it wouldn't matter if he gave me 5 minutes to make up my mind or a whole year. How about you?

Is the third one a khanjarlis? I think Rusty's mentioned his interest in that style before - I know I'd be interested.

:
I wonder how big these khukuris and koras are?

I have always thought that the koras were much bigger than the khukuri. And either these are very large khukuris or very small koras.

Rusty Bro, how large did you say your kora is? Seems like it was pretty heavy IIRC?

Will get back to you on that. But handle too big by far, and of smooth ( slick ) metal. Like the Super Salyan.
