interesting karda

[John Powell]

The karda on the right (7.5") is accompanied an Indian made kukri I just received. Unique, but not as classy (at least to my eye) as the earlier example next to it, but would be easier to use.

I am still in awe of where you get this cool stuff John...

 

[John Powell]

Don't be in awe. I spend almost all my nickels and almost all my time searching and researching all things kukri and Gurkha.

Someday it will pay off in information.

And that's why we all love you

 

[Daniel Koster]

I agree with your preference.....but they are both pretty neat. Thanks for the pic. Saved for future use.....

Looks almost like some kinda medical instrument. Between the long handle(for good ccontrol), and that nice slim curved blade, think i could perform surgery with that.

If I knew how to perform surgery, that is.

Great stuff as usual.

John has a perserverance and dedication I've not seen in many men -- or women for that matter. I sure as hell don't have it. And that's the reason we see John turn up all these goodies.

The one on the left is not only classy, but isn't that a large choil that would allow shortening up for fine work?
