Here is one of the neatest rigs I've seen. The khukuri is a 19 & 1/4 inch Malla made and marked by Kumar and housed in an excellent quick draw scabbard made by Terry Sisco. Both khukuri and scabbard rate 10/10.

The karda and chakma are well done and housed in a special double compartment scabbard by Terry.

This is made for somebody who likes to get his khukuri out quickly and who uses the karda and chakma on a very regular basis. And if you are not acquainted with Terry's work this is an excellent opportunity to do so.

We will deliver this rig to your door for $150 so essentially you get the great scabbard work free.

Call or email if interested.

If I wasn't saving money for other projects I would be all over this like a cheap suit. Terry is the scabbard master, alright.

Cheers for now,

Gary.
 
Very sweet. If I had filed that income tax a month back, I'd go for it. But I didn't. On second thought, ( deleted ), on third thought
( I ain't admitting this one )..., starting to hyperventilate..., THE JANAWAR KOTHIMODA KATNE, mounted next to THE KOTHIMODA TARWAR

Sorry, I need to sit down a few minutes. Maybe sanity will eventually return if I relax and think good thoughts ( Big Fat Chance ). This is gonna take a lot of time and thought.

It isn't often I really covet anything but I wish I could have this outfit. I was booted fraudulantly from a startup company I spent over two years building with a partner and am having to watch every penny. Crumbs. Well, its a thing of beauty and whoever buys it will certainly have a prize!

best wishes

Somebody please buy this thing! I saw it ten minutes after Uncle Bill posted it and I've been holding out ever since. A Malla isn't at the top of my list, but I'm dying here!
 
This is so funny. I can remember when all us "production knife collectors" used to dote on Made In Germany. Now we have a German Forumite buying from an American dealer selling a knife made in Nepal!

And the world just goes 'round and 'round

Bill--my guess from the pix is that this would be a quick-draw sheath only for the right-handers, yes?

I know just how nice a rig this one is since I've seen it and played with it a little bit.

And it's another fine example of Terry's beautiful and innovative work. I know I'm preaching to the chior when I say that Terry has a most unusual talent and not only with leather, but also wood and steel.

I like the Malla Khukuri a lot. And it's kind of funny in a way. When I designed the YCS I radiused the top of the spine the same as many of the old khukuris were made as that's a feature I really like. When I got the first one made that's one of the first things I noticed. Sanu had made the spine flat like the Malla Khukuri, another example of an old khukuri and in my estimation much harder to do than the radius!!!!
