top -- Plain YCS by Sanu. 17 inches and 30 ounces. It's 10/10 with some rust damage at the tip. Beautiful dark grained saatisal handle worthy of the most discriminating woodchuck. Very nice YCS style karda and chakma but with some rust. We're seeing the results of the rains and floods in Nepal. Very good scabbard and frog by village sarki in new leather. I figure about one hour with sandpaper will bring this rig to perfect. Take it away for $95. Good buy.

number 2 -- Perfect 15 inch 23 ounce AK by Sanu. Another 10/10 effort by Sanu with maybe 20 or 30 minutes worth of rust damage. Good karda and chakma. Village sarki scabbard & frog. Take is for fifty off -- $75 delivered to your door.

number 3 -- 20 inch 39 ounce AK by kami KS with trident mark. I don't know if this is a new kami or if KNN broke up thier combo mark but whoever it is knows what he is doing. Excellent fit, finish and hardness. Edge convex in from belly forward. I notice a slight wave on left side of edge which can be worked out with a stone or use as is -- won't hurt anything. No rust damage on anything. Good karda and chakma. Good scabbard by village sarki. Only problem with entire rig is small crack on handle. Thin, 1.5 inches at buttcap -- superglue fix. Yours for $145 delivered to your door.

bottom -- 20 inch 25 ounce Kobra by Sher. Good work by Sher. Only thing wrong with entire rig is handle crack. Not wide but full length back of handle. Can be epoxied and clamped and crack will probably disappear -- or you can use as it. Handle will not fail. Good karda, chakma and village sarki scabbard. We'll deliver to your door for $75.

Call or email.

BTT - the two 20"ers #3 & #4 still available, so get them while you can. Phone's probably turned off now it's nearly 7PM, but you can still send an email for Bill to read first thing in the morning.

Remember the first bite by phone or email has dibs.
 
..Is Sher back at work then? Brotherly spat over? Glad to hear hes back, love the 18" AK he made for me...funny that he's making the khuk that his bro pioneered...

BTT so someone can grab up the remaining Khuks. ... so I'm not tempted :D

For some reason, a 20" AK is very tempting. .. but then so is the Kobra (and I just sold my old one in the Spring)!

I bought a new musical instrument last week, otherwise the 20" AK would have been GTI.

Somebody please take it away!!
 
It's the curse of Hot August Nights that's keeping these here. The 20 inch AK is 99% perfect and still looking.
