JKM-1 question

[soldbyjim]

Can anyone give me the measurements of a JKM-1, please include spine thickness. Impressions by those who own one?

I own several Khuks and use them often, big fan of HI.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome soldbyjim!

Length, weight and spine thickness can vary by kami.
I've seen them come in at 6in 6oz and seen larger ones at 10in 11oz, I'm not sure of spine on either,as i don't own one. The one thing i can tell you is that by all accounts they are as good a cutter as the Kumar Karda.

I guess we'll both have to see if anyone chimes in with the missing info.:thumbup:

In the daylight I will provide you with your info and pix...

OAL= 7 5/8"
Blade= 4 1/2"
Spine= 3/16"
Chiruwa Horn Handle, Young Sher Kami.

I like the YCS Karda or an R-10 better for over all use. This one is a bit small for my hands.
