Most of our new items are now posted on our inventory page, but the pictures are a bit small. So, here are a few of the new items (see the Panawals on another post):
The above items, with the exception of the chianpure, are available on our website. The chainpure AK was a special order and got snatched up pretty fast. It was nice enough, though, that we're gonna make it a regular inventory item.

That particular Chainpuri is now mine...and I will say that the picture doesn't do it justice. It is a wonderful piece!
It has a snakey, deadly feel to it...I can't quite describe it. It is, at the same time, a substantial blade...
Craftsmanship on mine is also quite good.
I think this one will be an excellent addition to the regular line.

Regarding the mini-me's, I don't have any pictures but I received my 2 from Craig.
Both approximately 8.75" OAL, handle 4" including the brass bolster, wood handle, blade wasn't too sharp but sharpened right up in a couple of minutes with a Sharpmaker. I don't know about the tang, although I doubt it's full.
Very nice little khukuri for $15.00, IMO. Should open letters, cardboard boxes, etc. without a problem but I doubt I'll be chopping anything with them
The only thing I might wish for would be another 1-1.5" on the handle, but then again that would make it out of "image" with a regular khukuri.
If you're looking for a nice small "look alike", light duty khukuri this should fit the bill. If you're looking for a "real user" you probably want to go up to a mini-jungle.
Just my opinion, yours might vary greatly.

Jon: I agree on your assessment of the mini-me - strictly a cutting knife. And no, the tang is not full. I think the mini-jungle is the smallest "full use" khukuri we have.
And Mike L: Glad you like your Chainpure/AK. A reminder that Steven F would like the specs - I'd give it to him, but I sent that thing out to you so fast I didn't have time to do more than take a picture. I do know that it borders on 20 inches. Next order I'll definitely be getting some, as it's just what I like - a chianpure with a slightly different variation.
And the mini-me picture is forthcoming - and I promise that it won't take 6 months to put up like the mini-jungle took! You do know that if I screw up on your order (wrong knife, delay, etc), you're likely to get a mini-me as a consolation. Now, don't everybody go ordering complicated things to try to get a mini me!
