Here is an excellently done 16 inch, 1.75 pound Chiruwa Ang Khola by Durba. To make it short let's say it's a 10/10 with these two exceptions. First, there are two tiny foldlines at the cho right side of blade only, barely visible and cosmetic in nature. Second, the horn slabs have shrunk a little so the rivets stand out maybe 10 thou. Ten minutes with a file should fix these or five minutes with a Dremel or 1 minute on a bench grinder.

Karda and chakma okay.

Scabbard nicely made and tooled by sarki with no name. Frog is 100 year HI superfrog.

We will deliver this rig to your door for $95, a $50 saving, and send it with full HI guarantee.

Call or email if interested.

One of the prettiest Ang Kohlas I've seen, okay, so I've only seen them in pictures.

Whoever gets it is getting great deal! Fortunately, I've got my HIKV beaten into remission right now. Hopefully it will remain that way for several months.

rumor has it that Jim is organizing a very large high-society dinner party. It's a charity thing--you know, for the children. He needs place settings for 50, and he's decided on substituting a khuk for the butter knife at each seat. That's all that's going on here, folks.

We had to go fulfill an obligation to the Great Mystery and some land in Arkansas yesterday and part of today so I wasn't here too see the deal.
Perhaps Tsimi is gonna `research' the chiruwa style handle. I don't recall him getting one of those before. Only Uncle Bill would know for sure and he probably ain't gonna tell us everything he knows about Tsimi.

Nice AK though and I Know Tsimi likes Durba's work!!!!
I'm gonna face reality and call it HIKV though....
