The 18 inch Ang Khola must have been nice. I have a 15 incher and it's a bit small to be an effective chopper. However, it was made by Sgt. Khadka and it is the chiruwa (full tang) handle style. The kuks I really like are those from Tora in Britain. Tora stives for historical accuracy and the workmanship, like HI's, is first rate.
