I'm sure it's been discussed here somewhere, but I'm unable to find it. What is this khuk?

Please add availability and price too!

I think those really big ones are called Januwar Katnes.

Perhaps a Salyani?

Good sleuthing Duzzy, especially since you are not a Gold Member with access to the internal 'Search' function. :thumbup:

Was it lots of time spent looking or a chance find?

Duzzy · Dec 28, 2009

Chance find. I have been browsing back in the 400+ pages looking at some of the old stuff. Bura had a really cool AK/M43 a while back.

Nice find, Duzzy.

The original was an ivory-hilted kothimora that JP showed on one of his famous calendars. Unfortunately the only image I can find is a tiny one.

I seem to recall having seen a version of the pic with Yangdu in the precise same pose, except the khukuri in question didn't have the markings on the blade. I think they might have been photoshopped on for the image at the top there.
