Here it is. The 10 inch Kumar Karda, divided about 6 and 4, blade and handle. The blade is about an inch wide and 3/16 thick. Knife weighs in at 6 or 7 oz. Fit is good and finish is magic stone mirror. Hardness is excellent. Handle is rosewood, looks pretty good and without a full destruction test seems pretty solid. Scabbard is good fit, pretty well done. Frog seems too small to me but I am not accustomed to 10 inch knives. Everything is up to snuff but Kumar did not mark the blades.
Unless my memory is failing me again this knife became Yvsa's choice for carry and if you know Yvsa and have followed his posts then this is a strong recommendation. Yvsa has several of these, I think, 3 or 4, but my memory could be failing again. Brother, if I'm wrong hop in here and staighten me out.
Good news. Regular price is $55. Father's Day-weekend-special-price-no-kami-mark is $30 and we will pay shipping.
