Post your kothimodas/dhankutas

[Gehazi]

Hey there , it is me yet again! I plan on ordering a kathimoda and dhankuta customs when the kami are a bit less busy , but i was wondering if anyone on the forums would share any they had ordered? Do any of you consider these more than tools? For me the blades are art, and Rajkumar has very much impressed me with the work I see on the forums, I can't wait to get his work!

Please share your custom, historic or otherwise personal Kothimodas and otherwise fancy khukris

This is the Jewel of my collection.
19 inch
30 oz
Silver bolster and buttcap
Silver Scabbard over Black leather
Bone Handle
Made by the Royal Kami, Bura and the best silversmith in the Kathmandu Valley, Arjun.
It is one of the last 3 or 4 made by Bura before his retirement due to health issues.

after much work, and strange chance, I tracked down the person my brother gifted this custom dhankuta too over 10 years ago , this blade is by bura from 2001 , the overall weight with sheath is 26.3 ounces, while the blade in hand is a feather-like 13.7 ounces- it is just about 12
inches long including handle, the grip is only 4 inches. http://i1330.photobucket.com/albums/w569/synjebek/photo5_zpse7858648.jpg
