Thanks for the measurments!

Chitlange come with a full length fuller & untill the last few years a bell shaped hilt/pommel. This kukri exhibits none of those features.

6 years ago when I watched these bieng made in Dharan & marketed in Kathmamndo by the various factors, they were still made of white metal then not aluminium.

Perhaps they have changed the alloy recently? or perhaps they got the word Alloy & Aluminium confused. Many westerners also seem to have id problems with alloys after all. With the featured kukri the balance point with an Aluminium handle would be much further forward.

An alloy handle & nearly closed cho do not a chitlange make.

But as they say "whats in a name"

It is definatly a kukri though! {or is that khukri,kookery,khukuri etc.etc. }
