For the record:
20" HI Sirupati ("#204", I believe it to be pre-Birghorkha Shop 2. Also pre-superfrog.
19.5" Gelbu Special. Also Shop 2.
Both are from the 'green horn' period, and handles cracked as they dried out. Epoxy and superglue took care of them both.
The sirupati blade is a bit easier to keep really sharp, and has a big sweet spot...very useful on our woody New England growth.
The Gelbu is my house knife, it has just about replaced my Randall Thorpe Bowie as knife #1.

Okay, Uncle Bill, a promise is a promise

. Looks like everybody who wants to brag has had their say. Time to arm yourself with a kagas katne to stave off the dust bunnies and start digging under that legendary bed. Inquiring minds want to know what treasures are lurking there!
