During the last 3 or 4 months I've been getting requests for an oversized Ang Khola -- in the 25 to 30 inch rance. I hate doing specials like this one at a time simply because of the logistics involved. So, I put those requesting on hold and ordered 8 pieces of a 26.5 inch Chiruwa style Ang Khola.
It's a two hander for little guys and the old and weak like me but a workable one hander for guys like Cliff Stamp and Pen. I think it will perform equally with an axe and will do a lot of other things an axe won't.
Most of this run was done by Sher who specializes in big, heavy blades. The one pictured is by Sher. 26.5 inches and 4.6 pounds and these specs are typical. Blade is 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches wide at chopping area. Workmanship is usual Sher quality -- excellent.
Karda and chakma are nice size for use. Village sarki has done a good job with scabbard and frog.
Overall I think anybody and not just me would put this rig into the 10/10 category.
It's a hell of a rig -- good for work or a fine conversation piece on your office wall if you're a dreamer.
Price for these Mother of all Ang Kholas will be $245 delivered.
