From time to time Bura will hold court at BirGorkha to demonstrate to the younger kamis how a certain khukuri should be made. This is one of those.

It is a 22 inch Kobra, 5/16 thick, 1 & 7/16 wide and weighs exactly 22 ounces with handle of rosewood and Hi habaki style bolster. This is a masterpiece made by the master and, of course marked by him. Everything about this khukuri is about as close to perfect as a kami can get so I'll say no more than this.

The karda and chaka are very fit compantions, reflecting the quality of the big blade.

The scabbard is made and tooled by the sarki with no name and is very well done. Tooling shows dragon, daphne and yin-yang. Frog is HI 100 year superfrog.

We will deliver this to your door for $125 and take it from old Uncle Bill, this is a true bargain!

Call or email if interested.

Oh, Uncle Bill! What are you trying to do to me? Or is a just a case of a guy can never be too fit or have too many khurkuri's? I will restrain myself, but if its still here when I log on tomorrow...
Mad David, with a sore gut and finger (don't ask).
 
Whew, saved by a lurker! Thank you.

whew, I'm glad some else beat me to this one; and I thought my bank account couldn't get much flatter. What a beauty.
 
Again after 3 days ...
Again I have to make believe that the grape is sour ...

Pakcik Bill,
Mohd already well known as K.L Khurkries distibutor over here... He already sold almost half a dozen of his khurkeri to his friend.

YES!
  • ... The most important thing is that I didn't sell them for profit! ... it is purely friendly service!
  • ... I want most of my friends to share the rare experience of having & handling Khukuris!
  • ... I love to see the smiles of joy glittering on their faces whenever they received genuine Nepalese Khukuris from my hand!
NOW ... during lunch time or tea break ... I have few friends that can exchange stories on Khukuris!
