That YUVRAJ BOWIE sure looks pretty. Wish I had the extra $$$.

Avast ye land lubber! Ye be stealin' *MY* lines!

Go outside and celebrate Pirate Day like a good laddie now...
 
I like the wasp-thin waist on the full size Balance model.

The smaller knives are coming in with more and more features. Yangdu told me recently that it requires a lot of man hours of labor to do the small knives today- which makes them more costly than the diminitive size might otherwise indicate.

Oh, and that Bowie ought to be as slender and thin as many have demanded in a knife.
I hope the Kamis keep developing new ideas.

I did go outside and cut down 3 20' trees with my HI Villager Falcata and 25" Villager Chitlangi. The falcata chops like a dream and so does the chitlangi. Falcata came through unscathed, but the chitlangi clipped a wire fence and rolled an edge a little(handle was fine though). It'll come right out, so no biggie. My sister was really surprised how fast they brought the trees down and chopped them up.

Sorry guys, I did have the camera, but was to tired to take pics.:grumpy:
 
Grab that 17" Baby Ganga Ram. If you don't like it, I'll buy it from you:D This is one great khukri variant for camping and general light chopping. Plus, it looks veery cool. You'll need to do a little woodchucking on the handle, but believe me - it will be worth it. :)
 
Man, than Balance is SWEET! I already have one or I would be all over this. First big one in neem as far as I know. (?) And it's that great hard, glossy neem, not the rougher stuff. Worth every penny.

And it's hard for me to tell, but this Party Bowie is a bit different isn't it? I think the last one had deeper more defined fullers, but maybe it's just the lighting. Really nice work.

Yep, and 4-5 oz. lighter than usual for this model. I'll bet it handles really well. That hill walnut will look great refinished.

You know, I tried like hell to get Yangdu to call that the Cheeseburger Deluxe, but no sale.

That balance is gorgeous! I think that's the nicest neem I've seen yet. That western is sweet, too.
 
Who ever picks up that BGRS sure won't be sorry. I have a 16in 24oz BGRS and its always my go to kukuri when ever I need something heavy done. This one is also a villager, so you won't feel sorry about using it. :thumbup:

That neem handle on the balance is amazing. It's not just a looker, judging by the weight it also looks like it can be a good worker.
