That is a great example and I can attest to Kumar's edge. His tend to be very fine but still strong. His brother Sher used to make very, very robust convex edges. It was always fun to compare how two brothers would craft radically different edges, both of great quality.

I have a villager model of this knife that is a tiny bit longer and sports a wooden handle. The blade profile on mine has less of a drop to this one. I like that this one is starting to flirt with a spear point, which is my favorite shape on a utility knife. Anyone looking for a nice woods walking knife, should give this one a look. My family usually makes it to the Great Smokey Mountains for a couple of days of hiking every year. I usually carry something a big heavier when I am just walking around. However, a few years ago I learned that as my legs have gotten older (and I like to think that I may have accidentally gotten a tiny bit wiser), my KK makes the perfect fixed blade. It weighs less than most any other knife I have in its size, it packs well, it is stout enough to do heavier jobs in an emergency but keen enough to cut up lunch at the top of the mountain. A really nice knife for those worried about packing "enough" without undue burden on their belt.

Nice sales job! . One thing I always notice is Kumar's handles on the knives without guards. He tends to reduce the diameter of rear just enough to give purchase for your two rear most fingers to get a hold in. Kind of a substitute for not having a guard to prevent forward slippage. I don't think you see that with most of the other Kami's and think it's a great feature.

Can't believe this is still up for grabs, the neem wood version I just bought has been used just about every day since I got it, the size is just so practical for everyday small stuff.
I was good and rocked out a bunch of birthday&christmas presents for other people this week, so with a knife form factor I love, by my favorite maker and in beautiful horn to boot, I'm gonna treat myself.
