Recommendation? Would like to compare these three kukuris from Himayalan Imports?

[SanLuisObispo]

I have been considering the purchase of a khukuri from HI. Mostly as a wall hanger, but also some light tree-branch trimming as a stress reliever, and I will wear it once in a which as part of a costume. I'm considering:

• The 15 inch Ang Khola
• The 15 inch British Army Service
• Or the 16.5" WWII Model

I really appreciate history and tradition, but I don't want something too unwieldy. I think any of those will work well for my costume -- a kukuri in a sea of Bowies, from a looks standpoint...

Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

All three a great models. In my opinion, the quintessential HI khuk is the AK. As it is a wall hanger, I would go with whatever you like looks wise.

Keep in mind, all three of those models are certainly hard use models. Stop by the HI subform and give the folks over an ask. We love helping find the right homes for khukuris https://www.bladeforums.com/forums/himalayan-imports.739/
