Email to get any or all.
 
E-mail sent a while back on the 15" 17 Villager Special by Bura.

Maybe I made it in time.

Silly job getting in the way.
 
Like everything else I have older Seax's in horn and satisal with brown leather scabbards that are pretty undistinguished. Ferrous did do a nice job etching mine though. The new ones with brighter handle materials and red leather sheaths are really nice and the price is fantastic. I hope to get one of these soon.
 
Whew.... Late to the game and no Pen Knives... Holdin' out for a Villager Pen with Horn handle. :) Else I'm being good.
 
Ooooweeeee!
Just got done mowing the yard and shopping for supplies to get my kit together for Ren Fest this weekend. Shouldn't have looked, shouldn't have looked, ouch, ouch, ouch, dangit. :( :D

p.s.: somebody snag that Kumar JKM-1, got one just like it, nice and light, good sharp edge, typical fine work by Kumar, if it's still here next time I look, you won't have to worry 'bout it finding a home.
 
New to bidding on these. So if I sent a e-mail how do I know if I got the Khukri?
 
Don't panic,
Should be getting an e-mail response soon letting you know one way or the other.

If I say I'm going to do it, that's the same as giving my word on it, e-mail sent on JKM-1. Fine little knife, might make it one of those nifty scabbards like Tycho made for his FF karda.

I spent a while earlier trying to talk my brother into picking this up.

Funny how great knives sit sometimes.
 
Joy!
That little Kumar made, Chandan wood handled, JKM-1 is on it's way to Texas.
Chandan wood?
Chandan wood is straight and close-grained, fairly hard and oily. It weighs nearly 25 to 30 kg to a cubic foot. The sapwood is greyish white having little scent. The heartwood is yellowish brown and pleasingly scented. It also yields equally scented and medicinally useful oil on distillation. It is good for carpentry as well. Some also use it for coffins.
A paste of chandan wood and or oil is reportedly useful for treating skin diseases, burning sensation, cardiac debility, cough, jaundice, bronchitis, cystitis, inflation, gastric irritability, intermittent fever, etc. The bark is useful against malaria. The oil from the wood helps in treating dysuria, gonorrhoea, cough, tuberculosis of gall bladder, etc.
More than anything else, Chandan is of immense religious importance to Hindus. Many people believe that proximity to this tree in any way keeps the head cool, physique healthy and the temperament satvik, i.e., endearing traits of a god-fearing psyche. Accordingly, chandan is one of the costliest woods. Its retail price is nearly two rupees per gram, and the oil much more costlier.
Just goes to show, with an HI knife, you always get more than you pay for. ;) :D

Yep, might have to scrape off a little Chandan powder from time to time, to mix in with my "tonic" :p :rolleyes:
