I would have thought that both the Mutiny and Sirupate khukuri are a more popular option in the longer blade lengths but at the same time I know there are a number of forum members who prefer the shorter 12 inch blade versions . These shorter blade versions obviously will have a few restrictions compared to the longer lengths but for lighter bushcraft use ,restricted carrying options and as a backup defensive weapon I would imagine they would have a place within certain environments . I would be interested to know if any members here have both 12 " models and would appreciate any feedback regarding comparison between both styles in bushcraft use , and how they actually feel in the hand ? Also is there much change in blade aesthetics in the 12" versions ?
 
The aesthetics don't change that much for sirupate style blades. Regular khukuris can become stretched or wider as they get longer- sirupate just get longer and so retain the same general look. The bolsters sometimes become slightly narrower, leading to a narrower handle. This is the case for the 12 inch mutiny also.
I really like my 12 inch mutiny. It's light, lean and quite handy for picking through scrub with smaller, considered cuts. It wouldn't be my first choice for a wood chopping blade, however if I needed to grab something to clear an overgrown hiking trail with and defend myself from potential animal attack in the wilderness it would be a good choice.
Take care,
Andrew and the team at Kailash

any chance of a photo (s) of your 12" mutiny or sirupate side on so I can get a good perspective of how they look with shorter blades .
