    If you have never gripped a knife with two fixed "washers" fit to the width of your hand then you are in for a real surprise! As you squeeze your grip tighter that shape locks your hand meat onto the knife tighter than a crabs arse on a full moon! That is one beautiful knife!

    I had a custom set of Sirupates made with Chiruwa styled handles:

    These were everything a Sirupate should be. Thinner spines, very fast, comfortable grips, superb balance. Rajkumar just did everything right on these.

    wtb salyan, why are they not a general item of HI? hard to make? these pictures are totally blowing me away omg-- I am horrible at pictures but here goes --

    my brother's silver mounted Yvsa special ( 1st run I think) by sanu ( or the cross guy, his brother i mix them up)- a gelbu special with a curious bura and i think kumar initials, you guys can confirm or deny, and finally my oldest knife the first one I got, a sirupati by bura!

    The first Bamboo Cutter (Bura). Note that the tip slopes more gradually than its children. 20" AK for scale:
