I just had an "Aha" moment about the Char Chirra:

dui chirra = 2 fullers
tin chirra = 3 fullers
char chirra = 4 fullers
 
uh ems on char chirra? that thing is fantastic, if somebody beat me too it, good on you !
 
My oh my, that char chirra brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful thing. Nicely done Gehazi, I'm sure glad work was slow for you today so you could be there.

Thats CAK is a bit shorter and lighter than what we have been seeing? Nice packing blade!
 
yeah i have never seen anything like that in a dotd, so was just lucky to get here in time, wow I cant wait to see it in person huzzah, overnighted the MO and look forward to putting this one beside my kothimoda dhankuta , love display pieces. !
 
I'd say that's a barbecue knife right there for sunday go to meeting and such, not your everyday normal attire.

Use if for the same events where you wear your ivory handled Colt string tie and dress boots unless your ndog, then foot wear is optional.

Thats a genuine beautiful thing, can't wait to hear a detailed report when it hits your hands.
 
Slugger came up yesterday morning and I got to see this new CAK. It's a sweetheart. As Auntie stated it needed just a little fluff and buff which I just had to do a little of. I stopped myself so I wouldn't take away all Slugger's fun. It's a great knife.
Also checked out his recently found M43 and I'll be having to get me one of those too. Fell in love with that one too.
He is gonna have to get a bigger bag, first trip he hadone off brand KLO, this trip there were already 3 genuine Auntie knives.
It was a good visit. I'm near deaf as a stump so perhaps frustrating but my natural good looks are always there.
Oh and slugger, my wife wants the recipe to that delightful candy like stuff you brought her for helping you steal my M43. It's mighty tasty and I'm sure you've acquired a new ally.
 
Absolutely love that CAK, what a gem! Thanks Auntie again! This one is all ready for some use. I’m shooting to get into the woods soon and give her a little work out. I’ve been working on the KLVUK for a while now sanding out some of the marks on the rear cap. I still think I may let that one go and replace it with a Sirupati. I should probably give it a work out first to give it a fair shake.

The other knife was an ESEE Junglas. Great 1095 high carbon steel and excellent heat treat. Nice long blade but nowhere near the weight or geometry of a big kukri. I was planning on doing some work with it to compare but it’s brand new and I’m not convinced it can compete anyhow. Anyone else compared these two? I may let it go also after using the CAK . . . I think I’ll be spoiled rotten. I’d really like to put some linen micarta scales on the CAK. Maybe in the future?

Those candies are just like snickers bars aren’t they? I LOVE those things, they are like crack though. This is one of the ways I keep my girlish figure. I’ll shoot my new ally all the intel.
