Great set , by the way !
 
Good question!!! Looking forward to the "Pacific" on TV! In a case as you mention, my very very amateurish choice would probably be the Sherpa Sirupate - then again all the Tora kukris I own would fit the bill very well, so the choice of one over the other would be by a matter of degrees. For me atleast, the S-Siru has a nice 'weapon-ish' feel to it, as well as a longer reach.  On the other end of the spectrum, the awesome GAK has a very intimidating feel to it, I can see why it was a military issue during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Then, the Tin Chira has a very lively feel to it, just wanna hack & slash around with it, while the Bhojpure has a raw feel that makes you very aware of its shape edge ... on rambling mode now, sorry!

Awesome technique, I'm just getting the hang of it now.
As for the ten times in a row verdict, I would be more inclined to agree with the fact that the saya was slipping a bit in the belt, I have seen you perform that same technique in the past using Sempai Jerry's sword with no hesitation or problem and after watching your second video, I've come to the conclusion that it wasn't a fluke LOL.
Thanks for posting both videos Sensei, I'm sure Sempai Jerry and I will find them both very useful.
