Eamil to get any or all.
 
Oooh, nice Malla. I do love the chandan wood, and beauty like that one will make any collecter happy. And another antler BDC! I'd be all over that Pen if it were white metal fittings instead of brass.

Hurry, sharkies!

Pen Knife, villager AK left.
 
Sweet blades every one. I'm not currently in the market, or that Malla would be mine.

Oh and on a side note, I must thank Yangdu for her customer care. I recently shipped a blade back to her for replacement. I felt very bad about sending a blade back, but in the end I knew I would never have been happy with it. Her actions were immediate and she never made me feel anything buy happy, in some indescribable way her manner made me comfortable thruoghout. I am very happy to now own an 18" GRS by Bura with a Chandan wood handle that is perfectly beautiful. I'll tell you more when I try it out.

Thanks Yangdu, and everyone else, good luck!

I must be crazy... I just ordered the 12 inch 11 ounce Pen Knife by Bura. Dabdabe wood handle. Great Knife for $70 delivered

I just could not resest that extended butcap on it...
And this one is the first that I have seen that is not a villager...
 
I like the pen knives too, and want one in wood. My only concern is that lately the handles on the pen knives are too short. I'd like them to be at least 3.5 inches instead of the 3 or so inches they seem to be now (the wood or horn area) otherwise I need to choke up over the bolster. Minor complaint, I know.
 
As a collector of Malla's I would love to get that one, but just can't right now. Beautiful work.
 
That looks like an antler handled chiruwa AK, but I've been wrong before. If Christmas wasn't here, and the household in debt for home repair, I'd get that AK in a heartbeat.

These Deals of Day just keep coming in beautiful.

Eighty-nine Sarges sold by my count. (I'll stop counting at 100.)

17 inch, 27 oz AK could qualify as the khuk that if you only could have ONE, that would be it. Light enough, heavy enough, long enough, short enough, and built for several life-times.

In my limited experience, villagers have slightly longer handles.
 
e-mail sent on the AK Villager

Can't see how these AK villagers are sitting quite that long...and I don't have an evergreen handle.
 
If that's an evergreen handle, they're growing some real strange trees in Nepal.

The knife is lovely, though, simply outstanding.

edit- Oh, I finally see my hallucination- the antler is the smaller BDC. Yes, the AK is a non chiruwa and has evergreen wood. I wasn't even close today. I should have stayed in bed.

I thought that your meds from surgery would be out of your system by now!

Someday, maybe in fantasy-land, the BDC's will still be around 4.5 hours later.....

On a serious note, the antler BDC's are incredible lately. Congrats to the lucky ones who got this and the other a couple days ago.

Whomsoever snags one has a clone of the original, my favorite khukuri:



Got it almost exactly a year ago... maybe the kamis make this model in cycles.

Seen with an antler JKM and Kumar Karda, all sweating Ballistol®.
