Hello friends,
I saw this one in Yangdu's Deals of the Day and it spoke to me. 17 1/2" overall length. Blade is most like a Sirupate. The dark Chandan (rosewood) handle was sanded and given a few coats of Tru-oil. The wood dust was a beautiful purple color. It's lively but authoritative in the hand. No kami markings at all. This is one sweet blade. Thanks Yangdu!

Excellent blade. How do you feel about it having a guard? Does it interfere with use of the khuk?

I haven't done much but make a few chops on a log, but I don't even know it's there. Certainly not a working khuk, but it would make a good defensive piece, if you don't have a shotgun.;)
