This is a new design from us that aims to pack more power into a shorter OAL. The end result hits like a full sized blade despite only having 11" of blade.
A lot of the design revolves around the finger choil to help you choke up on the blade and tame that forward balance for control in finer work. The scallop at the rear of the spine is actually a thumb ramp to help lock yourself in while using this forward grip.

Sometimes its difficult to make modern khukuris beautiful- especially when you need to fit in things like finger choils and guards. Sometimes they can look a bit noisy or blobby. We think we found a great balance here between more dramatic modern lines and a more understated elegance :)

One thing we're really excited about is the ability to do lots of colour combinations with the micarta handle and bolster. This is an orange bolster with a chocolate brown handle. having a little bit of colour pop is I think a nice way to let the blade express your personality :)

Looks great and very ergonomic .

Never seen a finger choil on a kuk before !

Handle even looks pretty with orange band and wood like pattern . ☺️
 
Thankyou Doc- on many khukuris they are too large for a finger choil to be useful. On a more compact 11" like this though it does help tame the forwards balance a lot and open up a bit more utility :)
 
This would be a great camo knife……although even with the finger choil, I may have a hard time cutting onions for a stew. 😜. How thick is the blade? Best modern profile a kukuri I have seen.
