It looks very nice, but I already have a pair of Tarwars, so I'll let it pass. Somebody's going to be very happy though.
 
Is it just me, or does this one look a bit longer and sleeker than other tarwars I've seen? Also, what's the history behind the tarwar?
 
That looks great, but I'm still holding out for a wooden handle.

(Yeah, like handle material- instead of abject poverty- is the reason I'm not jumping on this.) :rolleyes::p:D

Nothing sooth's one's heart as does honesty.

I'm sure you, me and many others are in the same situation beholding this inspiring creation by the Royal Kami Bura.

Who wouldn't delight in owning such a sword of such sleek proportions. I normally would agree with your choice of handle material as well, but the curvature of that horn grip is so pleasing to the eye and begs to be grasped.

Congrat's to the person who purchased it! :thumbup:

Here's hoping that we all get the Tarwar that we desire!:)

Yeah, me too.
Wanted a villager tarwar specifically. Good thing I missed it though, no money and I fear my M43 by Bura has been stopped at the border by UK customs.
Lets hope not though, hope it arrives soon.

This tarwar has all the right lines.

Welcome and personal congratulations upon your first horn handled sword! ;) :D

It sure has got a long trip ahead of it. Don't forget to take lots of photo's of it when it arrives and post them and your impressions of the Tarwar. :)
 
A Tarwar is, IMO a "must own" for any HI fanatic.

If Jason Voorhies (Friday the 13th) came after you with his machete, and you whipped out your tarwar, Jason would run. :D

You and me both.:(

It is frustrating at the limited info on some HI products.

Now before I get flamed again I have some understanding of the situation regarding the multi-tasking Yangdu does and the pressure she must be under and of the historical background to her role at HI.

Then some models just appear as is shown by the current Mountain Bowie.

I have spent alot of time researching the history of HI blades, the Berkley Special, Foxy Folly, and the Bhariab, the last with little success so far.

More information on the history and development of HI offerings should take pride of place in the among the sticky's !:thumbup:

The Bhairab is the H.I. version of the greek kopis sword which was seen in the film Alexander.

Some time ago, someone posted a pic of a cheaper one often found on ebay. I made a remark about H.I. making a version stout enough to "sacrifice a Buick to the gods" and later on, the "Bhairab" appeared.


Look familiar?

But Bhariab is the Nepali translation Bhairava (Sanskrit: भैरव, "Terrible" or "Frightful"[1]), sometimes known as Bhairo or Bhairon or Bhairadya, is the fierce manifestation of Shiva associated with annihilation.[2] He is one of the most important deities of Nepal, sacred to Hindus and Buddhists alike.

The figurehead on the handle of this Khuk is where the name come from IMHO.

Right, so obviously H.I. made a (much higher quality) version of it and named it the Bhairab after the lion headed pommel.
