Lal Bahadur Bishwakarma also known as “Bura” is the Royal Kami of Nepal.
Having made top-grade khukuris for the royalties, he was commissioned to produce some of the sharpest, toughest yet beautiful Nepal’s famed national knife for Himalayan Imports.Bura has stopped making any blades due to his health and his works are always in demand.

This is Bura (on the left) with the late great, Bill Martino in Nepal:

15 ¾” 31.4 oz. D-handled khukuri by Bura in very nicely figured hill walnut handle with D-handle brass guard and dragon-engraved bolster. About 4-5 of these were made,2 or 3 in 15" version and 2 in 18" version and those were years ago.3/8" thick at spine.
Both Karda and Chakmak has hill walnut handle and the scabbard is very well made

A Bura is a hen's tooth enough these days, but the D-guards were really rare. Great knife!
