Are all the HI khuk models made, at some point in time, with the full tang? I have read and/or heard about a chiruwa Sirupati and a WWII chiruwa. Obviously the AK can be chiruwa. How about the rest? Is this a special order item? Also, why don't the kamis like to make chiruwas? Are they difficult and/or time consuming to make? Thanks.

Usually a chiruwa handle is special order.
A chiruwa is no more difficult to make but the kamis think it doesn't help the balance and that it also transmits too much shock. It's also a fairly common design in India and the Nepali kamis think they can make better knives that Indians so shun the design.
