Love the new YCS and the kardas.
Added 1/29/11:
It is so light and quick. Bhaktta did a wonderful job. The kardas are really well made. Everything came with good edges and nice fit and finish. It really is a beauty wish I had better photography skills. The pics don't do the fullers justice.

M43 36oz, 7/16" thick, handle 6" (wood only)

Wowza, very deep bellied beauty. Anymore specs? Weight, spine thickness, Kami, etc?

[gga357]

Here is the Kami mark. I will have to get weights later.

That thing's got more belly than my Uncle Wade, but much more graceful with it. Beautiful blade.

ohhhhh my god. Ok, i have to order an 18" YCS. i've been wanting one for a couple of months, but it's time, plain and simple. I'll have to post pics of my 20" custom M-43. I dont know about you giant-handed anglos, but with every order, i have to request smaller handles. I find (as a 5'4 naturally medium built asian) 4.5" handle (from bottom of buttcap to the bottom of bolster) with a flared bottom (a la Sgt Khadka Bonecutter) is PERFECTION. That's how i'll be ordering my YCS.

I'm sure that you'll love it when you get it moogoogaidan. Its looking like the new kamis are up to producing the older models in addition to producing new ones. As a giant-handed Anglo, I've found that 5.5" handle is about right for me. Stick with what fits your mitts.

 

[moogoogaidan]

for sure stickfred. i came up with 4.5" handle with Sgt K Bonecutter pommel after countless hours holding and swinging my khuks around while watching TV. Hah!

gga357: Would you mind measuring the handle of your gorgeous YCS from butt cap to the bottom of your bolster?
