Aw man so many nice things today, can't make up my mind.

I'm leaving the bonecutter for 2 hours, if it is still there I'm all over it. Time stamp 14:26 or 2:26 for you noncoms.

And then the Malla, and then the Yuvraj special knife, not necessarily in that order.

I feel better already just seeing the DOD. Makes my day everyday.
 
Really liking that Malla and the Gopte. I have a Gopte that is still unused, so I can't justify another.

Bawanna, my clock says 17:42/5:42, I say jump!
 
Ems sent for the BDC (copy paste error in my first post on my mobile - can'tt resist these! Great kitchen knife and EDC! This one's for my son.

Got the DD!

SG I'm not at a point where I can justify doubles. The exception was the AKB's. The Kumar and Lachhu versions were so dissimilar, I managed to justify both.

Your off to a wonderful start. Both of those extremely fine choices. I might have to come down and visit for show and tell. Only couple maybe 3 hours away.

Got a good buddy up here raised in Kelso.
 
Bigbore, I can justify doubles. I have 2 KLVUKs, 2 Baby CAKs, and now 2 Kumar Kardas. I'll definitely get another Gopte in the future, since they're all so different, but I just couldn't justify a second before breaking in the first :)

Whoever got that BDC will be a happy camper for sure (literally). Mine is 12" 16oz and chops as well as a KLVUK, but in a more manageable size. Great for camping and hiking, when the Dui Chirra or Tamang aren't quite appropriate.

You can't do better than an 18" Bonecutter by Purna for $90. The 34 oz weight seems about right for a heavy chopper of this model and length.

If the "slight shrinkage of the wood handle" bothers your hand you can use a fine file and round over the steel edges (the tang is soft steel, easy to file). Tape the wood first to protect it. Alternatively, you can run a thin layer of clear epoxy along the edge where the metal meets the wood.

If this is your first khukuri, be aware that the ring around the handle takes a little getting used to, but once you learn to hold the handle properly (loose grip with the ring between two fingers) it will feel very natural.

That was me SG - a typo in my original post which I have corrected now! I have a 10 inch BDC kitchen wonder and a 12 inch 16 ounce all rounder BDC. This in-betweener at 11 inch should be sweet. The BDC has become my favourite small khuk model over all the other models that I have so far.
 
Gah, Bigbore, you sharked me on the mini bowie... nicely done.

Not sure I'll have the funds to buy a bowie in the batch Yangdu has in stock, as I'm trying to buy gifts for others at this point. Oh well.
