Got this yesterday......



And since it's a lot thicker then the average sickle,about 1/4 inch (really though this is the lightest HI product I've ever held) I decided those thumb sized wild rose bushes would be a fine target-here's the little suckers,they are ALL OVER friggin' WV and can take over a yard if you don't watch out :grumpy:



Well the Hasiya went ape crackers on the stuff,once again a light swing sliced through the intended object like a lazer,a full-on Conan swing made rose vines fly! :eek:

And I dare any sickle you buy at your local Ace to do this! :D



The biggest of those took a couple,three swings to get through frankly it was more of a branch then a "vine",the smaller was one that was sent flying.
This is not your everyday sickle it can chop,plus the holder looks nice hanging on the wall so it can double as a decoration :thumbup: :D
 
I know I'm gonna get it for saying this but......

I really,really prefer these traditional knives/farm tools over the khuks,I also like the black scale finish the best.

Now if Mrs Yangdu could get a black scale finished Kumar Karda I'd be all over it like a bee on honey :D

I'm also now eyeing a Tibetan sword-the full sized one! :p

If it proves to be more rust resistant that other finishes, I would be all for it as well.:thumbup:

I hope that with the passage of time we will get feedback on this aspect of the finish.:confused:

I'll keep tabs on it,maybe some of the others who have it could as well.

One thing about the black scale finish I like much better,the polished get's really funky with use as every little stain shows up like a neon sign,which is why I find taking a steel brush to it and making it matte then bluing it makes life so much easier :o

The black scale you just wipe off and oil lightly and go on about your bussiness.
 
Great review and pictures, thank you
 
Dumb question. I rarely come in the HI forum. Where do you get one? I looked on the website and the shop and didn't see them. I think i could use one of those.
 
Couple of these are on my personal wish list, soon as I get more funny green paper. I was going to see if I could get one of them set up for a left handed user.

So far all that left is
2 Hasiyas
18.5 WWII
15" siripati
Cherokee Rose
Patang
Banchero

WWII and Siripati are the next two on the list :)

Incubating HIKV :)

I have a funny feeling that, in the next month or so, you will see some amazing things coming from HI...
