Any full tang model will usually carry the term Chiruwa.I am looking at the 18" AK, Ganga Ram & M43. Was wondering which have full tang handles.
Thanks, Greg.
Deal Of The Day...of course!Thank you guys! Great fast response. I have to ask... what does DOTD stand for?
DOTD= DotD = Deal of the Day
Those are the posts on this forum by Yangdu in which she offers products on Sale; usually models (ot at least size variants) which are not available on the regular shopping site.
Sometimes those products are "blems," i.e., with very minor defects not affecting the cutting performance (like loose sheath, missing sheath, minor rust spots, or cracked handle, etc.)
Just as an addition, I know many folk have a preference for full tangs, but don't let the lack of one turn you off an otherwise excellent khukuri. The through tangs are still plenty tough, and would probably outlast the handles themselves. There are plenty of khuk users that have done a lot of work with them and had no issues. :thumbup:
I very much doubt that you'd be able to put enough stress one to break it (unless you weigh 300lbs, stab it between a crack and try to use what's exposed as a stepping stone)
