Deals of the Day - 4/28 - Five 18 inchers - Take your pick

Imagine if a new guy stumbles into the Cantina. "Hey, where can I get one of them big knives?"

"Well, there's a thread over there offering them at 15-40% of retail, but the regulars are all at the bar crying because they're broke. "
 
first timer got the first one - the AK is GTVT !!!





(and a free sharpening to go with it) ;) :p

Yeah, that's me. I've be looking at HI khuks off and on for a while now. I just decided to buy a 16.5 chiruwa AK a couple of days ago and then found this forum. Now I have an 18in AK. Hopefully the first amoung many khuks. I especially like the YCS - that's one beautiful knife.

Welcome, tinmaddog. You'll like the 18" AK. Good blade. The one you purchased is light enough for general use and not just heavy chopping.

Malla and Gelbu are GTOK

Only WWIIs left.

Yeah, I noticed that - it's what, just over a pound and a half? More in the 15-17in range. I can't wait to start hacking into some trees with my dad this summer.
 
I like the looks of those WWIIs, especially the horn one which is a bit pointier than usual. 18" WWII is my favorite regular HI item. I'd buy one of these, but my 6 hours of sleep in the past 72 is still enough to remind me I already have a half dozen... If I can stay up another day I will be in full loopy shark buy-anything-that-moves stage.
 
They all look like they have really fine edges. Like I said previously seems like the kamis are putting more time into a really nice edge anymore.

I think you're going to like that one.

After you get a chance to use it please post to tell us how it worked for you.
 
Wood WWII is GTAL



Only Horn WWII left....
 
Good thing that wood WWII went out the door, too...I've just about expended my "Things Satori Shouldn't Buy Because He's Still Supposed to be Saving Up for a Motorcycle" fund and I didn't want to have to rely on the USPS to float a check for me. :D

Had a "!" kami mark and the weird initials on it too, if I'm not mistaken. I've got a 20" Siru from the same maker that gives my Bura blades a run for their money. I hope we see him on the website someday.

That's ironic, considering I bought mine on 2 1/2 hours in 36 hours. Isn't college great? I'm sure I won't regret it in the moring though. :D

Welcome tinmaddog! Wait until you get your hands on a YCS, they are my favorites of the rare types. College was great, yes, and I woulda had still more fun if I known what I know now :D But tomorrow I'm off work and to the range and a bunch of other fun places.
