Man, that chainpuri looks nice. Light enough too.
Makes it hard to wait for--other things

That Chainpuri must be "the Limbuwan" If I remember correctly (dont count on that tho) the Chitlangi were used by the Limbuwan and Rai people in neighboring valleys so I suppose Chainpure could be the same? That Chainpure right there looks just like a Single Fuller Chitlangi. I have a 20" Single fuller Chit and it is one of my favorite knives. I think it was about my third knife from HI. Not a heavy chopper but man are they ever fun in the woods!

OK..I had to go and see how wrong i was from the website:
"In the western part of Makwanpur district of Nepal, by the Chandragiri Mountain range, there is a historical village called Chitlang, presumably whence the name.
The chitlangi is similar to another style of khukuri known as chainpuri (named after a small village in eastern Nepal down in the lowlands where the terrain is jungle mostly). The differences between a Sirupati, Chainpuri, and Chitlangi are subtle. The Sirupati may be slightly beefier and therefore a slightly better performer when it comes to chopping but it would not be by much."

Can't believe it's lasted this long.
At 15 ounces that thing is, uhm, robust.

The Giant Jungle Knife is crazy awesome.

The handle is a true thing of beauty and I am very happy to have it living with me.
