top -- 22", 2 pound Chitlangi by Kumar. 10/10 work. Fine karda and chakma. Excellent Chitlangi style scabbard by village sarki. Only thing I can find wrong is very small fill left side of handle next to buttcap -- about the size of a grain of corm. Fine effort by Kumar. Delivered to your door for $125.
Center -- Late Christmas gift from Bura. Excellently crafted 20 inch 26 ounce Cherokee Rose. Blade sings when you run the file along the edge. I think Yvsa would approve of this effort -- looks to be pretty faithful to model. Bura has carved the fish from the Tashi Dili on the handle. Christmas red leather scabbard and frog. 5 minutes on the edge gets it to razor sharp. Very minor rust -- 5 minutes gets the blade to magic stone mirror. You can't get this much knife at this quality anywhere for $195 and an UBBB.
bottom -- Bura style perfect 17.5" 25 ounce M43. Perfect rig. Take it home for $125.
