And another khukri...


This one is also of recent manufacture, but by the skilled craftsmen at Himalayan Imports. The company's founder, bill Martino, passed away a few years back, but I got my order for this Chitlangi Khukri before the business faltered. The balance and heft of this piece is deceptive given it's length and thickness. As far as a course, general purpose fighting and utility knife, I submit that the Khukri is damn near perfect. Not for eye surgery, or anything, but great for the woods.
