That Malla is kind of special. Never heard of one of those. Nice looking blade that one. Someone please buy it quickly.
 
Malla:
The Malla khukuri is replicated from an a khukuri found buried under the floor of BirGorkha and identified by HMG Archeological Society (Nepal) as being an ancient khukuri from the Malla era (13th -18th centuries A.D.).

The khukuri is 19 inches, 2 inches wide, 7/16 thick and weighs about 2 & 1/4 pounds. There are a couple of unique things about the khukuri which should be mentioned. The spine is flat (rather than in the traditional V ) like our logo khukuri. Fit, finish, hardness, karda, chakma, scabbard and frog all rate excellent.

You better act fast crystalEyes, it's a race of temptation here. I did a set of grips for a fella and he's sending exactly 100 bucks. I probably can get enough to cover shipping out of my kids penny bank.
Jens didn't help none at all with his description neither. Makes me want it even more.

Must resist.................weakening...................
 
WoW! Theres my fave again. Single Fuller Chit!...and a Vim Siru? Aunti diving into the archives again!
Jens your scaring me with your knowledge!!! Oh....(HI Homepage) whew! For a minute there I suspected you as one of them replicants from bladerunner:D

No Bawanna you cant sell your puppy!
 
Darn, got busy for a few minutes with work, and the sharks have already grabbed all of the great deals today!
 
Too slow today. I had just sworn to vigorously pursuing more 20-22" single fuller chitlangis too.
 
That Siru is tempting! Love Vim's work!

I'm looking for a 12" AK by Vim right now. Alas, Auntie has none in stock at the moment. So far I have a 15" & 18" AK and 16.5" CAK, all made by Vim. Want to complete the set as much as I can. Not sure I will ever find a 20" by him as he is no longer making the big knives, but a 12" would be nice.
 
I too am after the single fuller chit like the one posted, when I was incapacitated a few years ago, no shark could get in before me, yeah, I hit the refresh button a lot back then and had time to burn.

Being a Noob at one time I know that Noobs need to first get their user knives then the collecting begins.

Yangdu and H.I. deserve our support from every angle.:) Happy sharking.
 
Looking to make that 16" klvuk my first HI chopper. Let's hope the waters aren't to sharky this evening.
 
Did ya email Aunti Yangdu himimp@aol.com for it Speedy? You have to let her know you want it first then we usually post here after as a courtesy to let the others know its spoken for. Welcome to the shark tank BTW! That KLVUK is a great first Khuk! Nice choice!

Buying it at that price must feel like stealing ;-) Congratulation on the snatch.
