Welp, the mail came today and I got a triangle box! This is by far a historical khukuri, it weighs 24 oz...at a 19" length. I'd consider it a yek chirra based on the deepness of the hollow forging. The handle is short and fat, the bolster is short, everything about this indicates that Thamar does indeed make a fantastic historical blade. I'd consider the fit and finish to be village on the blade (still some forging marks on the spine etc) but for the price I can't argue. It's about 1/4" shorter than my buddy's AMA longleaf but the shape is more like a Bojpure. The tang is all the way through the handle and pinned/peened over. I've yet to take it out and chop but I've got an inkling that it'll perform very, very well.
