Here is an old favorite we have not seen for quite awhile -- 15 inch Sirupati, about 3/8 thick and weighs 14 oz. Again, although you can see the grind marks this blade is finished up pretty well for a village model and there is some brass inlay and scrollwork along the back of the blade. Fit is pretty decent and the edge is nice and hard -- 58 to 59 Rc. Karda and chakma are worthless. We will put in a set from BirGorkha for an extra $10 but they won't fit the scabbard (which along with the frog is pretty good).

Take this baby as you see it for $60. If you want the unmatched karda and chakma against my advice add another $10.

Call or email if interested.

Yeah, it has great lines, and at 15" and only 14oz I can't wait to see how it handles.

Like I told Uncle Bill, I think I may have contracted a touch of HIKV. Sorta like the sniffles, only more expensive.

I knew already that I'm going to miss all these Village Khuks Offers! No PC at home & too sleepy to go to Cybercafe at this hours of very early Malaysian morning!

I just love Chainpuri due to it's lightness & it's beautiful flow ... Insyaa-Allaah! I wish Pakcik Bill manage to convince Sanu to make a lightweight 20" Chainpuri which is my latest special order!
