Hi thana357, The sirupati khukuri was sold through Himalayan Imports. The kami (smith) was Sher Bahadur Bishwakarma. That one had come as a contest gift from someone I have passed on to another. I don't recall much of the specifics about it other than my friend was better able to cut mats with it than I will ever be. As to scale of the blade, the two daggers near it are seven and eight inch blades. That would make it a fifteen inch overall example (iirc). www.himalayan-imports.com/A nice treat to have had for some months. Russ Ellis of Triton Works had posted a poll/contest and the sirupati was one of the giveaways. Cheers Hotspur; that one had been from another owner before Russ moved it on along. Well traveled

I got a CS magnum khukri and it is top notch for the $19 + 7.95 s/h I paid for it. Bought it from an eBay cutlery store, very nice stock on Cold Steel, Gerber, KaBar and other knife brands.

The elven hunter looking knife was done for a friend and I don't have background for it. The grip is inlaid with silver wire. The owner, Todd Pelletier, is also who ended up with the HI piece. A handy feeling knife.
Cheers
Hotspur; made to order but I don't recall the maker's name
