Here is a very nice 20 inch, 1/2 inch thick, 2.25 pound Sirupati made and marked by Sanu. Fit is near perfect, finish not quite magic stone mirror but very good, hardness about 57-58 Rc and almost shaving sharp. Karda and chakma very good. Scabbard by sarki with no name and 100 year HI superfrog.

Because of a very minor forging flaw (tiny fold line right side) we are going to throw this into the blem box and sell it off for $75 delivered right to your door.

You can't find this much knife, this good anywhere for $75.

Another holiday special from Uncle Bill.

Call or email if intereted.

Dan, congratulations, you got yourself quite a bargain. Had you not already spoken for it, I would have. In fact, had it not been for a power outage that I just recovered from, I might have been in time. Oh well, one thing's for sure about HI and Uncle Bill -- there'll always be other bargain khuks coming along. Enjoy!!
 
thank god it's too long and too heavy for my tastes, otherwise, i would be crying right now

Sorry, Dan - beat you to it! I was going to post right after sending my e-mail, but then I saw your reply and wondered who made it in first. Three days camped in front of the computer finally paid off!

Dan, that's gotta hurt -- coming so close then missing it. Talk about the one that got away!

This beauty arrived Saturday, just in time to admire it all weekend. My initial reaction - WOW! Subsequent reaction every time I take it out - WOW! Big, beautiful, and heavy! Makes the "thin" 18" from Kumar seem light as a feather.

Uncle, when you said "You can't find this much knife, this good anywhere for $75.", you sure weren't kidding! I'm going to have to go somewhere this coming weekend and put this monster to work. It's a shame my parents have most of their property already cleared. . .
