From the Himalayan Imports Website:
"The Sirupati, traditional khukuri of the Rai and Limbu people of Eastern Nepal, is quick and agile which makes it a favorite of martial artists. Excellently balanced. Light but still strong enough to do a heavy day's work. Scrollwork and brass inlay along back of blade add to the beauty of this already magnificent blade. This 25 inch version is going to come in at about 1/2 inch thick and about 2.5 pounds. Wood handle." Price $195.
The Sirupati comes covered in shipping grease for rust protection, it is High Carbon Steel. It features a very sharp hand-finished edge. It comes with a traditional leather sheath and two smaller blades, one is a utility blade, the other is a honing tool.
These are some of the most battle capable blades ever imagined.
Me, too. I've got more Nepalese Khukuris coming, too, when I am done I will have around ten different models in my collection.
Gorgeous sword, I ordered mine today I can't wait to get it! :D My fascination with the Khukuri have grown over the past year or so, when it comes to foreign blades the samurai sword ranks number 1 for me but the Khukuri is creeping up there
@Lokpyrite - That is basically a special religious ritual symbol for the Nepalese. It also helps prevents blood from dripping straight down onto the grip.
These kukri knives seem to be getting popular in action movies and in the knife collecting community
Nice blade man, a true incarnation of the blade that struck fear into the hearts of enemies on the battlefield, quick and silent the night, decapitation in hardly the blink of an eye..Beautiful piece.
That's great, biggest collection of Khukuris I've heard of.
This steel is beyond beautiful. A tranquil pool of cold death.
A gorgeous knife. I was surprised it only cost $195.
Long Beautiful Sirupate Khukuri known as attacking knife. Light weight and easy to handle... I would always recommend long Sirupate Khukuri... Doesn't get better then that.
@mikedifeo - It probably is leaf spring, yes. The tang is not visible but it does go all the way to the end.
@LadyGardenHoe - Thanks, you have the eyes of an artist, yet the spirit of a warrior!
I have a feeling these swords are going to become the next poplar Asian sword like the samurai sword is right now
I think that the biggest Kukri I've seen. Beautiful and awesome piece, thanks for showing it.
Yeah man, these Nepalese blades are sweet.
Scary bit of bad-ass history in your hand!
That depends. This functions as a big chopper, kind of like a giant tomahawk or axe, so if you'd prefer a large axe to the sword, then you'd like this.
Ah, that's called IWB (Inside Waist Band) carry. I don't carry any blades that way, so I'm not really sure what the longest would be. My friend carries a Kobun that way, so I would say at least a 5 inch blade length is do-able.
If they are the same price and length, I'd probably go with the Cold Steel one first. But, I think Himalayan Imports has some very good ones in that size for a lot less money, and they are still very good.
Thanks! More Khukuris coming!
Thanks for the quick reply!
I suppose that's understandable. For awhile now I've been buying various Khukuri brands (for instance Cold Steel.) and I wanted something legit rather than just a US one. And I stumbled upon Himalayan Imports and purchased one of their cheaper 18 inch Kobra Khukuris after doing some research.
Of course from this video I imagine they're worth the wait.
Congrats! I am sure you will like it! It comes shipped in grease so be ready to polish a giant sword lol, but it is worth it.
Badass. Almost looks curved enough to be used as a boomerang.
That's just not any other khukuri man , that's the 'limbu clans' khukuri from Nepal , each swords are from different clans/tribes !
jay philips Awesome. I have joined their tribe.
WeAllJuggleKnives Lol Really ?? How , when , where ??? :D
Beautiful collector's piece at a very good price. I like Cold Steel, HI and Tora Kukris a great deal because of the quality knives like your 25" Sirupate. Of course this big/long Kukri is more cool than practical (unless you like to sacrifice animals) I thank you for an interesting video.
dude u get the best toyz lol i will be getting one and i will rock it when i do yard work and if shit collapses
It took about 2 months, because they had to ship this one from Nepal. However, if they have it in stock in their US warehouse, it will arrive much faster.
It is more of a honing or edge-repair tool, rather than really sharpening, but nah I haven't needed to repair the edge with it
I've been looking for the aluminum handled one but I can't find it anywhere
Nice piece. Good craftsmanship. What is price of this,is it made in Nepal?
Indeed, thanks! I like it a lot!
@HdoggyAIR - It's the same as any recurve, they have round sharpening rods for it
@WeAllJuggleKnives look it up its a website or a free catalog they send you it has very low prices and the coolest weapons i have ever seen from tazer flashlights to duel 20$ swords its amazing you should check it out.
@RayH42 - It's a chopper, so if it was straight, the base of the blade would get too much stress.
Thank you
Very cool piece man
this is a piece of art! thanks for showing it off
Thanks!
@JD4TH3WIN - Thanks JD!
@shiv317 - Thanks! Yeah!
@xiuxiu1313 - Yeah I think it definitely helps vs rust
Is there a tiny little one for chickens?
I'd say go for it, if you have the funds, I really like my Cold Steel Kukri, I'll review it eventually.
The knife is called the KARDA and the sharpening steel is called the CHUKMA. I hope I spelled it right. Very nice. Oh no I think think I'm coming down with that Himimpt virus.
@PrepareforDifficulty - I think you'll like it! Its listed just like the title, on their website.
Love that....So beautiful,afraid to mark it lol....I have a "one off" That kami "Sher" made of a Barasingha stag woodcraft knife.Absolute master blade..You got a sweetheart there to....They all must be pristine leaving that place.wow..
Do you think they use that high polish to help against rust in the humid environment?
@carmas54 - I use a dehumidifier so there's no moisture in the air where its stored.
@TacticalAngel86 - The United Precision Katana? Yeah I tested that sword the other day, along with several other blades. Sadly, it was not a very good cutter, the Shinwa sword cut wayyy better. Maybe I will try it some more.
I have not tried waterstones, so I'm not sure on those.
What I prefer about Tora Blades Kukuri is that their Kukuri which include a chakmak & karda come in a very functional size rather than the tiny symbolic versions that come with the kukri house versions.
I remember checking them out years ago but they were all sold out back then!
yup that is a sirupate, but to hack off a Buffalo's head, we actually use budune' khukuri, it has broader blade and much heavier then that you have, the one you have can still hack off goat or sheep's head,
That sharpening tool as well as to make fire too.
@tylenator552 - No, but it is felt.
THAT...WAS....AWESOME!
great review, I have a British Army Service Khukuri on the way!!!
It is more of a sword, or ultra-thick machete.
I've concealed a fixed blade knife with a 4.5 inch blade in my pocket before, I suppose if you cut a hole in the bottom of the pocket you could fit a bit more ...
umm, just a little correction. The sirupate has more cultural significant to the Limbus whilst Rai mainly use the bhojpure khukuri.
@mysss29 - Yes it is convex
nice khukri man....like the review
Great video.You mentioned carbon steel. Is it 5160? And is it full tang? It looks great. It looks like a modified leaf spring from a big truck. All the heavy truck leaf springs are 1/2 inch.
Man that is long blade. I don't know if I colud carry it of my belt. I think it migh be too long and hit the floor. I am only 5'4", so legs are short I would imagine it hangs about 30 inches with the sheath.
thanks!
@Lokpyrite It's usually called either a cho or kaudi. Opinions differ and there seems to be no definitive answer, both as to any possible intended utility, as well as to a single symbolism. It's been said to represent things as varied as a trident, a cow's hoof, and a clitoris/lingam.
I think you'll like it.
Well it has a hidden stick tang just like a Ka-Bar does, so it's not too bad.
Wow... that's massive.
I have always wanted to cut someone in half with one swipe.
This could come in handy.
Very funny :) but I noticed your huge collection of weapons (firearms and blades), you should start a type of museum or public display area for your collection. That way you can help the public's knowledge of historic and modern tools/weapons and make money to pay for your hobby.
Something to think about.
@flyemirates4000 - Round sharpening rods, I believe.
Thanks :]
This is way bigger, like a sword.
these are a lot thicker
my Cold Steel Trail Master came covered in grease (and I immediately thought of this video when I saw that lol)
Hmm, I've never been able to conceal a blade length longer than about 5 inches, But I guess if you had a trenchcoat you could go bigger.
@1nvrknws - My arm got tired just holding it up for the camera lol yeah this thing is heavy in a good way.
Both!
I finally got mine in the mail, thing is incredible! The horn handle is really nice too. The Karda isn't that sharp though. Thing is pretty hefty :3
great knife my friend, no doubt on this!
Cool, thank you
@carlyle0229 - Ah, that's cool, I wish I had a local knife shop that carried these!
yeah..well...
Cold Steel knives are, i think, not the originals. This one's genuine and relatively more cheaper. Cold Steels are around $150 to $200 atleast, and these, i can get for around $100
very nice piece yu got there chief : )
.......KHT (kukri house in thameline ,nepal) also manufactures excellent implements....
'just ordered mine ''sirupate with chikras'' one of a kind design......they have very exceptional customer service and support- (call for SANJAY).....check it out! you will not be disaapointed : )
@AxleKlown - Cool, let me know if you do a video with it
I used Metal Glo polish and Flitz cleaner, polish.
Wohaw! I want one!
@carlyle0229; carl if u can, horn is very nice but do crack with use,i've treated it with everything under the sun. the wood takes much more abuse from chopping wood and so on. imho. get the wooden handle.....
awesome! classy and deadly!
Metal Glo or Flitz is good.
Great review. I really like this one.
How long of a knife do you think you could conceal in your pants leg? just curious
@WeAllJuggleKnives
pretty big..is this seen as a knife or more as a short sword?
@WeAllJuggleKnives thats knife look a 500 dollar knife.absolute awsome knife
Daaamn that thing is beautiful
How long did it take entirely for them to confirm the order and ship it? I just bought mine three days ago, and I'm really excited for it!
@WeAllJuggleKnives oh if i do a blade collection video i will def include it and may do separate video of me cutting the mats that mimic human bodies i am taking martial arts training with from a friend who teaches krav maga and does sword training
I think the horn is more valuable, but if you order horn, they will send you wood anyway if they run out of horn.
:O that's awesome! Great video.
how are you planning on keeping it from tarnishing or rust?
we have one in my house..a little shorter though..nice piece
Extraordinary!
