Here is a 10/10 20.5", 1.5 pound Sirupati by the kami with no name. This is a very, very good effort. Fit is good, excellent magic stone mirror finish, and good hardening. The only thing I can find wrong with the entire rig is the hairline crack on the handle as shown.

Karka and chakma are very nice and scabbard is excellently made and tooled by sarki with no name. Standard 100 year HI superfrog.

Two minutes and 10 cents worth of superglue will bring this rig to the top and it should last 100 years. Take it today for $95 delivered to your door.

Call or email if interested.

The kami with no name sure can make a clean
looking blade. Have you folks noticed how straight the lines are on his work?
 
I would already have claimed it if there was any way I could afford it right now. Sad day for me.

I think I can hear the world's smallest violin playing for me somewhere.

Uncle, I guess your timing and my bank account just aren't in sync.

I hope this puppy finds a good home.

Hi Uncle,

Is it, perchance, still up for grabs? And Jimmy didn't put dibs on it? Unheard of!! Maybe he's sick? (Well, in ANOTHER way!)

Arrived safely in Germany!

Man, that picture above doesn't do it justice at all! Lucky me! That's a nice blade.
Right now it's got the superglue drying (a long crack, but really not a big fix) and i'll polish the handle in the evening.

Thanks again, Bill.

The kami with no name does good work.

Handles and scabbards take a beating getting to Reno from Nepal. They leave hot and humid Nepal and go into an airplane cargo hold which is maybe -50 with no humidity. Then they get off the airplane in Bangkok which is hotter and more humid than Nepal. Then back into the cargo hold to Seattle. Then off again at not so hot but generally humid Seattle. Back into the cargo hold to hot and no humidity Reno. I'm not suprised when the handles and scabbards show signs of this journey. Luckily, the steel doesn't care about all this that much.
