Some great bargains today.
I’m waiting for a 15-15 1/2” CAK, by Kumar.

That 17" Chainpura sings loudly. I think I need that Dhankute more tho. Love that sheath.

Pondering a newer van, knife fund might be kind of lean going forward.

What the heck.....EMS inbound.

 

[EricTheRedBeard]

Such great deals. I agree, that 17" Chainpura is a beauty.

If anyone needs a first Khukuri, I recommend that 15" VUK by Kumar. I have one and I use it more than any other.

Email sent for the 18" Purna Chainpuri and the 12" Dhankute by Ram Kumar. The Dhankute will be a birthday gift for my son.

 

[Bawanna]

david, I'd sent an email on the Dhankute an hour or so ago, so I just sent yangdu another asking her to let you have it if I was first. We might both have been sharked, I never got a done deal.

Fingers crossed for you and happy birthday to your son.

 

[davidf99]

Thanks, Joe. Now you can afford that van.

I'll post an update when I hear from Yangdu.

 

[Bawanna]

Still can't afford the van but perhaps a bit closer. Had a dealer tell me I should buy more often so I don't get sticker shock so bad.
Told him I just wanted to drive it, didn't want to live in it. He didn't laugh.

I'm not seeing the pictures.

 

[Bawanna]

They were there, now they are not. Strange. Photobuket revisted.

 

[Bawanna]

And now they are back. I think we're in the twilight zone.

 

[ndoghouse]

And now they are gone! imgrrrrrr! That 9 ounce Reti sure sounds good! Wish I could see it?

 

[RayseM]
