When one of the Khukuri Khonventions was held here Bill commented on our tableware being Chiruwa Style.
Yep, I hate to admit it, but then on the other hand it goes a long way in proving what I'm talking about when I say the stick tangs are stronger, which they are.:p :rolleyes:
One day I was using one of the tablespoons to dip some hard ice cream outta the paper bucket and the chiruwa handle started bending!!!!!!!:p
Here's the measurements off of one spoon.
They're all about the same, but since being hand finished there can be some differences I suppose.
The small round/oval area about 3/8" from where the chiruwa starts the dimensions according to my Brown & Sharpe digital calipers are
.241" and .183" or about 1/4" X 3/16 inch.
The dimensions of the chiruwa are .0750" and .0811", one side and the other's thicknesses, X .336" wide. This is the area the spoon started bending.

Dan's the math whiz so if he wants to figure the surface area he can. I'm figureing they're about the same, but I could be wrong.
The bottom line is this is just another way of proving to me the stick tangs are stronger.:D :rolleyes: :p :p :p :p

Somehow I don't think your chiruwa spoons were made by Bura. :D

And if stick tangs are so tough, how come they don't get the "If you can break it we'll send you two free" guarantee? :p

That's just Bill the Coyote's way of unloading, imperfect, notice that IMPerfect begins with IMP, second rate khuks to the great unknowing "Bubba Types." :rolleyes: :p
These are the same guys who bought the hollow handle "Rambo Style" knive's with the cute little compass in that thar handle fer their firstus knive's when they were younger.....
:rolleyes: :p ;)

Excellent Idea Raggie!!!! Except I'm afeared there wouldn't be much testing with the tableware except from the plate to the mouth.
We'll just havta wait until Cliff has kids and then get one of his little boys to test them in the dirt.
 
Maybe the steel was low carbon. :p :p :p

Remember way back a long time ago when a kami bit into steel and said it was good steel?

I think we went around Jones' barn a half dozen times before we decided maybe - just maybe - he could taste the difference!

Seems I saw a report recently that 5-10% of people were "super-tasters" who tasted things at a level ten times less than it took for ordinary folks to detect the same thing.

Can't you see a guy going into a knife show and licking the side of the blade and going "Mmmm__ D2 at 61 Rockwell, right?":D :D :D
 
Well, I can taste copper in just about everything. Guess I should stop carrying my lucky penny in my mouth;)

Maybe we could split a half gallon carton of ice cream in half with a chiruwa AK instead? You bring the spoons. ;)

P.S. Seems like there's a lot of coyote in this forum!
 
Indeed, to all of our relations.

P.S. Throughout cosmology, it is the tricksters who help the 'healthy' chaos drive change in the stagnation of order.
 
Why do people keep putting down God's dogs?

Besides, you already know what the Tribal Police used to call me under their breath, and if you don't know, you ought to figure it out pretty easy.

Especially after the time we went to Reno, and they blew past me doing about 80 in their patrol unit. I was puttering along in my truck at 70 MPH. Three times they did that. Then at the Hotel Casino they got on one elevator and I waited for another, and was waiting for them when they got to the ground floor. I think that's the first time they said it out loud.

No more of that damned bending of our chiruwa tableware!!!!:rolleyes: :p
