From the 9/16 Deals:
"15 inch 15 ounce Sirupati by Bura. Great effort by Bura. 5 minutes rust."
Well, when Uncle Bill and Yangdu mention "great effort" I know I'll pay extra close attention, because this sirupati is a real gem. I have not seen another khukuri with such a perfectly executed blade. No ripples anywhere whatsoever, perfect symmetry and amazing edge hardness. I tried my trusty German sharpening steel to tweak the nearly sharp edge and couldn't do a thing with it! My testing on cardboard boxes usually leaves some fine scratches on the edge bevels, but not even a hint of a scratch was left on this steel! It will be a bit more effort to get it scary sharp, but I know this one will keep its edge extremely well.
Thank you Bura, Yangdu and Uncle Bill for this beautiful and awesome knife!

The little Sirupates have a lot going for them! I had a 17" village Sirupate that made me want to get nekkid and dance with it.
