Default Really Nice

phil.reid,

Khukris are my favorites and I am envious. Very good dui chirra blade with a well cut cho and double sword of Siva. From what I have read, a brass ferrule indicates WWII or later. The horn hilt with the brass rings and butt cap (brass also I assume) is also well proportioned. And the kothimora sheath just adds to all the rest. Unusual though that the sheath metal is silver colored and the hilt metal is brass. What is the length of the blade (as measured from the center of the blade at the ferrule to the tip) and what is the thickness of the spine at the ferrule?

Sincerely,
RobT
