Congrats to both Cul and Phil on your Tamangs, you'll love them. Bawanna, I've got a good feeling about another Tamang for you. That model likes to fly under the radar.
Now, the Neem wood handle on this particular model is quite stellar. Plumb blows mine outta the water, and looks sharp with that forge scale. I say oil that thing and dip it in urethane, IT'S PERFECT!! As for the sheath, mine has an adjustable loop as well, but pulling it all off without a frog looks wicked clean and just overall awesome. One of my favorite overall packages I've seen lately, right along side Bigbore's AK Bowie with the Nadam wood. Think that's what it was called at least. Edit: Sadan wood, I was close.
Congrats to everyone else as well, all fine blades posted today. M-43 is nearing the top of my list, or a nice beefy AK. Best choppers I have now are a 15" BAS and 17" Dui Chirra. I long for something I need both hands to pick up
And a happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the HI family!!
Ooh boy, just noticed the Tamang is a Kumar as well...sorry BB, but that cemented it's spot as my favorite blade posted in recent months! Every time I look it's just as gorgeous.
