Tarwar fever !!

Brendan · Jun 17, 2002

Hi All

I have become obsessed with getting a Bura tarwar, does anyone own one and can anyone tell me about them. Do they come with utility tools, are they full tang, do they only come in wood handle, are they strong enough to chop wood like a khuk. Any info appreciated.

Thanks
Brendan

Brendan do a search for "Tarwar" and you'll find some post on it.

Brendan:

I do have one, by Bura. It's beautiful. But, it doesn't have much in the way of distal taper. It also has a slight forward curvature in the forward third of the blade. To me, it's fairly blade-heavy as a result.
