Everyone I know can't handle the forward curve of my Boomerang. I wish I had one of these just to make heads explode. Superb.
 
I've got a 15" Boomerang by Sher too. It's such an under-rated khuk. Handles great and chops like a beast. This one, though, is a MONSTER.
 
That is... wicked. I love it.

I don't ever want one of my limb to meet one of these.
 
Man that thing looks so much scarier than it did on paper. Murali did a great job.
I was hoping the curve would be more even, a perfectly semi-circular shape, but this is good too. This has, perhaps, better penetrative capabilities. I think she could chop, stab or sweep equally well and with a lot of power.
Being two handed, the weight ought to be a non-issue.
I am so honored to see one of my designs made flesh. Thank you, Yangdu !
 
I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It looks cool, but I wonder how it handles...
 
Congratulations Danny!:thumbup: :cool: That is just one lovely khukuri no two ways about it!:thumbup:

It sorta reminds me of what John Powell used to call a, "Hanshee." IIRC. I'm thinking that when Spiral went to Nepal he learned that the proper name for such a khukuri was, Lhambhend or such, I know I've butchered its spelling! :o :eek: :rolleyes: ;)
The main thing that I think may keep this one from being so designated is its excessive weight. IIRC the real Hanshee's (Lhambhend's- sic) were really light for their size!:thumbup: :cool: :D

Great job Danny!! Hopefully this won't be a one-off... but other forumites will be able to acquire one in the future???? This would be perfect for zombies, et. al. :D

Doh!! I just now saw the price tag in Yangdu's post. Duh... hmm, I'm thinking a Christmas present maybe??? I must show this thread to my girlfriend :)
 
Hi Aunt Yangdu! Are these traditionally used as weapons or tools? And what advantages does this type of curvature offer? Would love to see a video of this blade in action. :)
