Deals for 9/4 -- Pix, Dharane Limbuwan, BC , ASTK and Great Buys

Glad you like yours too.
ASTKs are great. 18 inch is a lot of knife and slightly to heavy for me but the AST knife handle is just perfect for my hand size. Weight is like the Ang Khola of the same length and its full tang. Therefore I assume its good as a prybar too, even if its not officially rated for that use. (Ang Khola is)
Btw Ast means branch in German and the AST knife is good at cutting an Ast. :p
 
Got the Bone cutter! It is awesome just like all my other khukuris! Tested the hardness with my Nicholson File and will test her out in the field as soon as I can. Great knife!
 
Limbu, apart from the Magars and Gurungs has a liking for blade profile like Chainpure. The sight of Limbuwan got me looking into it:

The Limbu
Limbu is a branch of the Kirati tribe. They have a tradition of inter marriage with other tribes particularly with the Lepchas and in certain respects their habits are similar to those of the Lepchas. They have also matrimonial relation with the Rai or Khambas. The Limbus call themselves Yakthamba. One of the branches came via Lhasa and is called the Lhasa gotra, while the other branch which came from Benaras is called the Kashi gotra. The Limbu have their own priests, they are known as 'Phedangba'. They conduct the religious ceremonies, and also deals in omen and forecasts. They have their own language, called the Limbu Kura. Limbu marriage is often conducted without the consent of the parents.
