I feel the Izula and the 1911 stand out from the rest.
People like you are an inspiration to other knife enthusiasts.

Another huge Khukri from Nepal made as per my specs, modeled after WW2 Mk43 Khukri. This one's an M43 on Anabolic Steroids. The blades's massive at 15 Inches, is 1 cm thick at the spine, full tang. I specifically requested for a lanyard hole this time given its massive size and weight. Handle's rosewood rivetted to the tang.

Moin, that's beautiful! It must be fairly heavy with all of that steel, and I suppose that the weight would give its striking qualities a hammer-like quality?

Wow! That is one sweet blade.
If you dont mind me asking, where/what do you use these heavy khukris for?

Hi Timmy; Thanks. It is fairly heavy, i guess the weights a shade more than a kilo. Given the forward heavy blade geometry of the khukri design the weight would add tremendous momentum to the blow, more like an axe or a large cleaver. in the hands of the brave and tenacious gurkhas these are absolutely lethal.
