How is Bura doing?

I've been wondering that, too. I don't think he's "pounding steel", but he seems to be supervising a team of his assistants.

Bill?
 
Pala will be here in a couple of days with full report. I think Bura is doing fine. Interesting to me is when he finally had to take on helpers he took two master kamis as "helpers" (combined experience of helpers about 70 years) and a 20 year old hoss as a pounding machine.
 
Whenever I think of Bura, I get a mental image of him teaching and mentoring the other kamis at Bir Ghorka. Shaping the men who shape the steel. Not all old men are wise, and not all wise men are old, but I suspect a lot more khukuris have benefitted from Bura's influence than just the ones made directly by his hand, and people in the process.;)
