on december 27th, my mother's birthday, i ordered myself a little present as well from the dotd. a 16" d-1. today, sunday, december 31st, my brother in law knocks on my bedroom door. he said he was taking some trash out and found a large, heavy, triangular package with my name on it in the GARBAGE! i was outraged to say the least. how the hell did my beautiful d-1 end up under the stairs waiting for curbside pickup?! i have a number of ideas for suspects but i'll take care of that later.
first, praises to himalayan imports for gettin my knife delivered in three days (or less, who knows how long it was in the trash) during the holiday season.
second, this piece is remarkable. finish is brilliant. the octagonal handle feels outstanding. is that little flower dil's kami mark? it too is gorgeous. the surface is completely smooth, i can't find any 'misplacements.' there is a small scrape here and there, from testing i assume, and the laha is all over the guard but i can buff that off. still, i'm totally happy with the knife. dil rocks.
on to what you came for.
the amber hued pics were taken with a sony. the clear ones with a panasonix lumix. all pictures are poor. quite an educational shoot.

. There are others frequenting here that could probably share this knowledge... Maybe the "D" is significant?
