The vast majority of the items that HI has offered are not on their web site. The site carries more of their common offers. If you would like a chainpuri you can email Yangdu and ask to see if she has one in stock or she can have one made for you.
Email Yangdu at himimp@aol.com and ask her if she has or can get you one. That's the best way to know. You wont find a more helpful or pleasant person to deal with anywhere on the internet.
Very pointy looking. I'm guessing that's the main difference between a Sirupati and Chainpuri, other than the cho and pommel?
And IIRC, the Chainpuri is usually the lightest, followed very closely by the Chitlangi, then the Sirupati. Right?
Definitely a nice one you got there, in any case.

My 15inch Vim Kami Chainpuri is fast and light and feels much better in my smallish hand than a similar length Chitlangi.
I am interested to get a 18 or 20 inch Chainpuri like Big W's to see how it compares in feel to a similar sized Kobra, which I think it would come closes in weight.
Ascetically I prefer the Chainpuri to the Sirupati but would need to actually have a Kobra in the same size to determine which I preferred in that match up.
Oh, then there comes the issue of which chops the better, but that is another topic which someone else can answer.
