Ok, I just gotta know. What is that Auntie sliced up on the cutting board there. Don't recollect seeing nothing like that before but I don't get out much.

Love the handle shape on that Thamar curved spine.

That there is a Dragonfruit, my friend.
 
Dragonfruit? I guess those don't grow round these parts. Never seen one anyhow. I better keep a look out.
 
they will be in your local megamart grocery chain.
they taste really good.and are super healthy for ya.
 
EMS on the VBCAK - it will be an excellent gift for a friend and colleague of mine :)

Dragonfruit looks tasty :thumbup:
 
What makes a "malla" a malla? To my untrained eyes, it looks like my siru. Are there certain specs involved?
 
it is reproduction of one of the "Malla" period in nepal--- the main difference is the Cho, teardrop, and the karda and chakma have brass rings on them like the bigger knife, and the karda has a small cho-- its a very heavy solid blade.
 
I received my Thamar Bahadur Curve Spine khukuri, and the blade really doesn't have a fuller. But the blade is just the slightest bit concave from below the spine to above the edge. And the top edge of the spine is also rounded, instead of having the regular 2-angle top, so maybe "curve spine" refers to both the shape of the blade and the curve on the top edge of the spine? It also has a much larger handle than the Yek Chirra and Dui Chirra khukuris by Thamar, and the handle is pretty straight, rather than curving down like the other two.
