Just to let all the forum-ites know, I dropped my wood model of a 19th century wide belly dui chirra in the mail to Uncle today. It has of course the wide belly plus the curve of a hanshee. I made it quite thin so it should be very quick if the Kamis follow the model.

Looking forward to seeing that one. Dui chirra is one of my favorites. Costs a little too much for my pocketbook at the moment.
 
This one is much much more curved than burk's dui chirra. really a hansee with a wide belly. Quite a beautiful design really. I took much of the design from the antique models. Those guys had a real handle on fluidity of design.

The next one I'm going to design will be a kothimoda hanshee. I've discovered a material that you can sculpt then bake in the oven to a really nice rock hard smooth finish. I'm going to use it to produce a highly detailed and ornate handle, which I will fit on the wood blade.

I'm also thinking that a nice presentation box carved by one of the Newari men would be a great addition as well
 
Why would we want to fight against Foxjaw? Does it really take large knives like the Foxjaw Fighter or will harsh language suffice?
 
I was gonna mention this somewhere else yesterday but I got my first custom ( also the last ) knife, a Peter Bauchop "Alleycat" Fighter our and put it next to the Bura 12" Royal Dhankuta. The Alleycat is in D2 and harder than the hubs of he__, but is humongously long at 8 1/8th+ blade length. It scares even me! The Dhankuta is about a 16th inch shorter.

Just an idle thought: even think of using a hasiya as a kerambit? Must be medication time.
 
Knowing the quality of work our friend Foxy puts out I'm betting this is gonna be one beautiful blade!!!!
Hopefully it will have an equally beautiful karda and chakma to go with it?;)
