Just got my first 2 kuhkries from weekend forumite offering. The gelbu special has a crack or split on the top of the KUHKRI. The crack is on top of blade right along the blades edge. What should I do? Return. It?
It is split all the way through the bolster. HELP!
 
I bought 2 of them. The Kobras bolster is seemless all the way around. This has a separation in the metal. After I got out the magnifying glass(eyes are getting old) I see it was brazed or soldered there, just not filled in all the way. It's all good. These are my first 2, so I have much to learn. Thanks Dirtbiker.
 
That's what I thought. A true split would not have left Yangdu's home like that. I have a CAK with a bolster like that.
 
I asked the same question when I got my AK.

Does it looks like this?

Ted, email me a pic of GS
 
I think one of mine has a similar solder joint.
I can't bear to part with it, to send it back.
It has no effect on usage, and I figure it's just part of being made in a traditional (not mass produced) manner.
