Berk's tools. Pix but no deals.

[Bill Martino]

Berk wanted and ordered four tools, deer antler handles. Tweezers, awl, saw, and button hook.

This is exactly what he got and I am frankly amazed considering all the turmoil going on in and around BirGorkha. I'll rate these tools as 10/10 and my guess is by the looks of them they were made by Bura.

Will ship today, Berk.

Beautiful.

How much $ does a set of those run? How much if mounted in wood?

 

[firkin]

Great stuff.

Beautifully finished and executed.

I guess that fills out the tool slots in the dui chirra scabbard....

 

[Bill Martino]

These were $100. Not something we would like to do on a regular basisi.

 

[Dave K]

These guys can make anything.

Amazing.

 

[Bill Martino]

They even put a sharp point on the awl since they didn't have a broken model to copy.

 

[Federico]

Absolutely beautiful, those definitely are what tools are meant to be.

 

[Berkley]

Uncle,
Thanks to Bura and you for these beauties. I hadn't seen this thread till you posted on the villager thread. Many, many thanks.
Berk

Exactly!

 

[Bill Martino]

There's going to be some mismatch in the antler but you can't dig out 100 year old antler everyday I guess.

 

[Berkley]

Actually, the new stuff looks fine, and should fit in wonderfully. I think it's another 11/10 deal

 

[Bill Martino]

Wait until you get the real thing before you pass final judgment.

 

[BruiseLeee]

That's some nice stuff.

But I have to say it looks like a fang replacement kit for Dracula.

The home vampire root canal kit.

 

[Bill Martino]

Bruise, thanks for chuckle. You've got a special sense of humor.

 

[Berkley]

Uncle, they are top notch and were definitely made by Bura. How many people will ever own a saw with a hand-cut blade? And the awl is such a dynamite little gem with razor-sharp edges and point, I may be tempted to have a scabbard made for it as a little backup, er, tool. "Why, no, officer, that's a little leatherworking tool." Many thanks.

Oh, and completely unrelated, the Royal Nepalese Army has a new website. Check out the picture of the King as commander-in-chief with his fancy gold-mounted ceremonial tulwar.

Thanks for report from the field, Berk. Looks like the RNA is getting into the PR business, too. But with 40 million give or take a couple at stake, why not?
