Today I bought my second khukri..from a gorkha khukriwala..awesome blade and the sharpness is deadly. First one is 18"..a tad too heavy for a khukri but damn effective as a Daah. That takes my count of knives to 7.. now waiting for a Tanto and a Push-dagger. Any recommendations/

suggestions for both pl.

Beautiful blade. The sheath looks beautiful in wood too. Are you in India and did you ordered it through there website? If you want a strong tanto in good affordable price go for voyeger series. As strong as they come and get xl version if you like big blades. For push daggers too I like the cold steel series give them a look. Talk about your budget and likings like fixed, folders etc in blades.
A knife makes me feel stronger, keeps my temper down and gives me the courage to fight for the right. If I am wrong, don't correct me...

This one I've bought from a gorkha who makes khukris for a GR unit. I like fixed blades more as I get to see more variety,designs and craftmanship in handmade blades.

Great Kukri man... you are really lucky

where did you buy it ? I'm looking for a similar hand forged kukri for long time. Can you kindly share the name and location of the kukri shop.

It cost me 1100 bucks and 11" was for 900. I've bought it from an army khukriwala who is located in Delhi cantt.

Cool knife!
Where in Delhi Cantt is this guy located?
And does he have ready pieces? Say, I can pick up on the way to/from airport?
Cheers!
