I just received my first GH blade, and I'm blown away. It is a real work of art (and a piece of working art, too) and I couldn't be more satisfied with it.
Others here have posted their descriptions, and I can't really add too much - the engraving near the spine in the Sword of Shiva is really first class. The file worked diamond shaped keeper, the full tanged and bolstered chakmak and karda, the ridged scabbard, the cross hatched handle and bolster, the fit of the scabbard and the finish of the blade are all 10 out of 10 in my book. I suspect the cheetlang will become VERY popular, if it isn't already.
This was my first time doing business with Craig and Gurkha House, and I would reccomend them both to anyone with no reservations! (Craig, I hope you've received my check, and I hope it was for the right amount...)
Now a question for anyone - Is the cheetlang a traditional style? If so, where in Nepal is it from, or who/what is it associated with?
