I know I am tempted I bought a Gelbu Special by Rakjumar and it is amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to buy anything made by him. My Gelbu was good quality and fit and finish was incredible. I want the M43, CAK, and Katana but I already have a Tarwar and just recently purchased a Condor Golok so my knife budget is strained.
 
How does the Everest Katana feel in hand? The one for sale weighs 47 oz does it feel very heavy? I have Tarwar and it weighs less overall and is shorter but I can hardly wield it one handed. I have to use two hands and it feels like im swinging a club. Last weekend I had a fire in my friend's back yard and we had a few beers. He had some small trees that he wanted removed so I took out the Tarwar that I keep in my truck. The trees were between 2-5 inches in diameter. I was surprised because between 1-5 whacks a piece and the trees were down. He also held a thin piece of plywood up though and it was able to slice cleanly through that too. I don't abuse Tarwar like that regularly but it is just a big, heavy chunk of steel and it is good to know what the sword is capable of.
 
I saw the tarwar some 10 years when i first straggled into this forum. It, like the falcata, has eluded me for a decade. One day, i WILL get my hands on one of theae beauties. Just a gorgeious gargantuan blade. Congrata to the lucky shark:)
 
Yup, I am quite excited. Can't wait to see what the balance of that Tarwar will feel like. I've got a good idea of what to expect from the CAK (though the 'personality' that each of these blades has despite surface similarity is always amazing) -- the Tarwar will be something completely different for me. Something about it just called out.
