It's definitely not ugly and it's mine. Don't think I'll be using this one for anything but show. Great sword! Should have figured that Bura made this one. Incredible carving on the handle. WOW! So Uncle don't you or Pala tell Bura. I know he makes khuks and swords to be used and this one would be perfectly useable. Just can't bring myself to do that. Don't have a place to play with it right now anyway. I have seen Paul Chen swords and indeed they cost more but I like this one better.

Hoghead-- you scored! That thing was a beauty. I'd love to have some handle carving like that on say a chiruwa AK.

Josh,
That sounds like an idea to approach Uncle with if he's listening,,,. With all the threads asking how Bura is let it be known he is still the Master. Royal Kami for sure!
