I've gotten enough field reports on the shop 2 khukuris to give me a good idea of how they are doing. Here's the consensus of maybe 25 reports.
They are doing fine and my suspicions are confirmed. Remember awhile back I said I thought the blades coming out of shop 2 were a bit better than shop 1? People are telling me the durability, edge holding ability, of the shop 2 khukuris are a little better than shop 1 -- this from people, obviously, who own both varieties and can make field comparisons.
This makes me happy and I know that the boss will be very pleased to hear this as will the kamis in shop 2. Further, the quality of finish on shop 2 khukuris has gone up dramatically to the point where it is just about equal to shop 1. More good news.
But the shop 2 sarkis (scabbard makers) have got to do better. These are still not the quality we want or expect. But I think in another couple of months shop 2 is going to be outdoing shop 1.
