I will have to set up some way of doing it - also have to find something to cut that wont mark or scratch it up to bad - this thing is a work of art.

cutting old logs. branches and such gets sap and other garbage on the blade - usually i dont mind.

I have heard people talk about "safe queens" and i dont like the idea of a knife i cant use but i am going to be a little bit more cautious with this one :D

since it was made to pay reverence to and aspect of Shiva it seems to me i should be used with care (well any knife should be used with care)

well i guess you get the idea; thanks

the first one on the left in the picture from original post

the "18 inch 42 ounce villager fit and finish Amar Singh Thapa by Dil Kami. Satisal wood handle. Field sharp rig at $155 YBB."

is that a full tang like the CAK?

anyone know where i can read about the " Amar Singh Thapa" - is it on the HI website ?

Thanks
 
Just like to throw in my two cents: the ASTK is most literally like a sharpened pry bar. My ASTK is fat but has a thin profile and a wicked edge. The result is that it has a lively feel, balances well (since you don't have all that mass in a big belly and wider profile), but hits and chops like a champ.
