read somewhere that wood handles may last only 3-5 years. what can be done to lengthen the life of the handle and how difficult are they to replace if damaged or broken? I was thinking pine tar but have seen some with what looks like athletic tape on the handle.
another series of questions kind of related to the first: what, if any, are the major differences between the ak 15" and the ak chiruwa? blade length and shape seems similar. handles appear to be slighlty different. any personal preferences hear on the forum? read a description of the chiruwa calling it "bomb-proof". that sounds very appealing.
