Looks awesome. Are they on both sides of the blade?

Thanks! We use grinders with different sized wheels so the smiths have a lot of freedom in organic shaping. They love grinding fullers and often do some fuller designs that are very unusual and ornamental.

It is! It's a big knife at 19.5" but the handle has a fair bit of heft to balance this out.

Yep! And Bikram does his best to keep them even on both sides

That non-standard handle is mighty intriguing. Is it made of Buffalo horn? I wonder how it feel in-hand.

I'll pass it on! Bikram is pretty proud of this design.

It's black mciarta wrap- we've been getting some higher compression on our handles lately and they're definitely looking a bit more hornlike as a result. I haven't held this design though, so unfortunately can't comment on the handle. He's got plenty of other handle designs coming through the workshop to pull from though.
