You had to go and post a picture, didn't you? Now I want one right this instant.
LOL...I was trying to help. I thought you forgot what it looked like. Didn't mean to stir up those desires for it again...

I don't recollect if both edges were sharp, from the picture I'd say they were.
Probably so. I held a very large one first time down to visit and it didn't set off any alarms or dance tunes.
Cul's opposite end of the spectrum small and light nearly floored me, I broke into Disco (yeah I know it's dead), probably still a wet spot on Aunties garage floor where my tongue was dragging and a bit of blood where I ran over my tongue with one of my front casters. (talk about painful!!! and Bookie just laughed!!!) Truth is I had to pry the durn thing out of his hands to hold and fondle it myself. I think he was kind of intrigued with the workmanship on that one. Thought about that puppy all the way home.
You can borrow, and fondle it all you want, anytime, just shine it up, and make it happy, since it'll be visiting Mr B's workshop, and being in the presence of that beautiful katana!
Just a theory and not looking at numbers just yet but from what's stuck in my head Thamar's length and correlated weight seem always the same. 18 inch = 25 ounces.
Also the shape of his Dui Chirras looks always the same great and classy.
Is he one of the most consistent Kamis or is it just me?
You seem to be very correct. I've got an 18.5 inch and 24 ounce Thamar Yek Chirra, and that is about the lightest I've seen from Thamar.
I think Ndog has the most giant Spear Vala at 19-1/4" and 43 ounces.
Think again brother! I think I got the lightest so far. and it is sweeeeeet!!!! Its from Thamars very first shipment of Chirras. I do think it is a bit heavier than that but it aint much more. I should weigh it again I suppose. Im thinking it was closer to 20 oz.
Specs on mine:
Overrall lenght --18''
Weight --16 oz
Spine thickness --1/4''
White metal fittings
Satisal wood handle
Scary sharp blade will keep all intruder away from you
Standard leather scabbard
Wise investment at $145. *SOLD*
That sure is a sweet deal on a mini spear vala. Id have bought that one for that price in a second! Grats Mateos! You did well:thumbup:
That ought to tell you somethin! Thats a Giant Chitlangi Bowie next to it. Oh and a Giant Turkey tail spear point from Georgetown Flint on the other side I have equal admiration from each of them makers:thumbup:

Wow. I had no idea Thamar had ever done a kukri that light. Even if it is 20 ounces that is one light Chirra. If another like that ever pops up, I may have to jump and buy it.
Ive been watching them since and I dont think its happened yet. I could be mistaken but yall are right about his consistency. If you buy anything from him you got a good one!
I agree Wildmike! That would be very sweet to have an M43 with his traditional style especially the handle. Id like to see a custom one made by him. It would be well received im sure.
Correction Scara: I did water displacement method when i weighed it last. I now have an accurate scale and its 21.9 ounces exactly. Still the lightest I have heard of so far. Its a Yek Chirra btw.
Dang dog, that's light! I can see it being sweet.
Hey Cul, does that chit Bowie have white metal fittings? I have only ever seen brass.
That's Ndog's chit bowie. I don't have one yet...
