Blem #1 -- and it's a number one for sure. 21.5 inch 30 ounce Dui Chirra (Berk Special). Nice handle and one of the best rigs we offer. Ten minutes worth of rust removal brings it to pristine condition. Yangdu is pricing this at 1/2 -- $175 delivered. That's a $175 saving on this one and a resounding UBBB.

Blem #2 -- 20 inch 23 ounce Kumar Kobra by brother Sher with all usual Sher features. Yangdu says the problem is a "small hole in handle repaired by master kami." I seldom call Sher a master kami but with 30 years experience and considering the work he does he certainly fits the title. Take this one home for less than 1/2 price @ $55. Yangdu is getting a little nuts.

Blem #3 -- 18 inch 23 ounce Gelbu Special by Sher again with all this master kami's usual features. Problem is a small crack (superglue fix) in horn handle. Five minutes work and five cents worth of superglue gets you a perfect khukuri for 1/2 price = $75.

Blem #4 -- 15 inch 21 ounce BAS by Kumar. To make this a perfect rig you'll have to spent the five and five (minutes and superglue) to fix this horn handle. This bargain delivered to your door (if you live in the US) today for 1/2 price = $50.

No calls please. Email to get any or all of the crazy Yangdu deals.

Off to see the urologist this AM. Results of CTscan should be in. "To remove or not to remove, that is the question." More later.
 
Moutain,
You should really like that GS. Sher does a nice job and just about has that "convex" egde down perfectly. Enjoy.:)
 
Hoghead,

If it works and feels as nice as it looks it'll be fantastic. Hard to imagine big utility blades like these slicing tomatoes. Awesome !!!

I'm just amazed that I got one.
 
Mountain,
Slice tomatoes yes! Mine has the scars to prove it. Stains on the blade getting kinda decorative. Note this does happen when you use a khuk in the kitchen. They develop a nice patina.
 
Dayum!! :eek: Somebody on my Christmas list wants a 20" Kobra, guess I have to start checking in earlier.
