I have a question for all of you out there with more knowledge of Khukris than I have. Which of the HI Khukris has the most extensive fullering? The Gelbu Special is the one that I have noticed the most as having a nice deep fullering job.
That is one of the things i like in certian blades. I think that a well fullered blade is very attractive, not to mention it's lightening of a large heavy blade makes it handle like a smaller blade might. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Pics would be a total bonus and thrill, as I am looking to pick my first HI Khukri. The GS is my pick to date, Thanks again.
 
...or the new Hanuman:

Bro how does the Kothimoda and Hanuman compare in weight and size and length?

The Hanuman blade I have is almost 5/8" wide where the bolster will be.
I have rounded the corners off to about 9/16" along most of it.

Thanks Berk!!
The Kothimoda would be lighter I believe at 7/16" thick.

I just went back and looked at the Kothimoda again and just realized that it is real close to a straightened YCS.

There are a few subtle differences like the fullers extending to the point. And the fullers coming together into one a ways in front of the bolster.
That really makes me much more confident that the YCS is going to be Very Close to the model!!
