When a guy who sells knives says good things about them it doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot. That's why I don't waste a lot of time doing it. BUT when a guy who makes knives, knows knives and one who may have to depend on one of these knives to save his life says good things I like to see them in print because it sells knives better than me.
Thanks for kind words, Sarge.

Holy Cow Uncle!
The mail man just stopped by. I ran out to the road to meet him, and when he pulled out that long, triangular, box I was fairly quivering with excitement. Then he pulled out a second box and I damned near had a heart attack. My living room floor is now littered with packing materials from a bonafide blade frenzy. That Bura Tarwar is magnificent, it sings in my hand, and as I swung it around the realization struck me that it was a dream come true. I've always wanted a real sword, and this is that sword. My ancestors would have cherished such a beautifully crafted weapon, and I doubt not at all that it would shine in the fury of battle.
The Sher made Kumar Karda is unbelievable, the blade is perfect, the handle fits like a glove, and what a handle it is! The beautiful carving gives the knife a magical quality that's hard to do justice with words. It, and the sword will be given names, and given no less care and respect than a Samurai gives his katana.
I feared that I had died and gone to heaven, then I opened the second box and my fears were confirmed. I have never seen any knife, anywhere, more astonishingly beautiful than the AK that was in the second box. Not, because it's fancy, but because it's right. Everything about it is right, the size, the weight, the grip, the balance, it's all unbelievably right. I drew it from it's scabbard and it came alive in my hand, nothing short of wizardry could have produced a khukuri that fitted me or suited me better. Uncle Bill, you sir are a genius, all three of these blades far surpass all my expectations, due no doubt to your wisdom in selecting them for me, I am much in your debt.
It's off to the store I go for much food and much beer, if ever a feast of celebration was called for it's now. Some days are better than others, this day's better than most, thanks again Uncle Bill.
Your grateful nephew,
Sarge
