Size on larger khukri blades

[depusm12]

General question here guys looking at a 15 inch or 18 inch Sirupati as my next khukuri. Wondering what the blade length and handle length were from those that have them and an approximate weight as well.

Knife and blade size:
15" Sirupati - 10"
17" Sirupati - 11"
18 1/2 " Chainpuri - 12"
The sizes include the nonsharpened part and measure to where the bolster starts.
Handles size varies, so my 17" Villager may have a blade that is like the 18".

I did the drawings for the Pan Knife awhile ago but no one added it to the website.

Will the Pot Knife be next?

I mean, now that she's getting out of the slam, I can see a Martha-Bill tie in:

I have 2 15" Sirus right now, one by Amtrack and one by Kumar. The Amtrack weighs around 15 oz, while the Kumar blade I would guess weighs 18 or 19 (16 oz postal scale pegs when I put this blade on it). The handles on both are about 4.5" from buttplate to bolster, which is perfectly comfortable for my hands (4" across the palm, but long fingers). I briefly had an 18" Siru by Kumar that weighed 22 oz IIRC, and had a handle around 5.5" long.
