I saw a khuk on here a while back, forgot to bookmark the link or save the photo, and now it's driving me nuts. I'll try to describe it......

It was short by khukuri standards, but pretty wide, and elegantly curved, sort of like an M43. It didn't have any fullers or anything, and I want to say the handle was neem or something else kind of light-colored.

As I was researching, I thought at first it might have been a Pen, but it's not, and it wasn't a Baby Ganga Ram either (my second guess). I also looked at the HI sales site, and came up with nothing. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
 
"Bura Boomerang" or Balance - based on the elegant curve and small size.

Yangdu special?
 
Thanks for the guesses so far. :)

Could y'all post a link to the some of the models you are mentioning? I kind of know what a Foxy's Folly is, but the other ones are throwing me. :p

EDITED TO ADD: I did some searching on Google on the model names that were mentioned, but I can't seem to find any threads with active photos.
 
One on the right is a Samsher.

I think you're looking for a BAS. They rock. Get one.
 
OK, I think I was wrong about the fullers......I found this in the HI gallery.......what are those little ones in the center (above the bowie with the yin-yang symbol)?

I have seen them from 10" to 16".

I haven't seen one for sale recently but you could ask Yangdu or special order one.
