This 12 inch 10 ounce khukuri is perfect. Bura pays great attention to detail on this knife because it's called "Royal" and made exclusively and entirely by him. No help from apprentices on this one and it shows. Silver mounted with spotted deer horn handle. Excellently done.
But there are two problems. The scabbard is very nicely done by Bura but the horn has shrunk a little and the circumferential rings need to be epoxied in place. They are a little loose. Second, somewhere along the line the chakma was lost. These are small and because of scabbard construction are not tightly held in place. So, maybe Dave will make a chakma for you or perhaps one of the other do it yourselfers on the forum.
These imperfections save you a full $100 today. We'll deliver this show piece effort by Bura to your door for $175.
