My 12" Siraputi arrived also

[Federico]

I must say thank you so very much once again to Uncle Bill. Originally there were only two 12" that were supposed to go out, I emailed him too late to get them. However another one was found with thick grain lines that Uncle Bill let me have for the same price. I must again repeat an HI blem is still superior to any other khukri out there. I own two modern made khukris that make an HI blem look like perfection. But this is indeed a sweet little knife, perfect for general usage as a tool though beautiful enough to be a display piece in its own right. Maybe now I can give my Ang khola a little rest. Once again many thanks to Uncle Bill, maraming salamat Uncle Bill Mabuhay.

And many thanks to you, Fed, for such kind words.

Uncle Bill if I can ask what is the makers mark on this little siraputi. I tried looking for some guide to which marks belong to who but I couldnt find this mark in the old Khukri faq.

 

[Bill Martino]

If you can't get a pix of the mark, try describing it and we'll figure it out.

 

[Federico]

Hmm it kinda looks like a line with to Vs under it.

That's Durba. He uses an outline of the flag of Nepal. It's the only flag of that configuration in the world so the sign is a bit unique.
