Just curious, Uncle Bill, about what happened to the supply of fully cured water buffalo horn that BirGorka was supposed to be getting? It seems as if HI is continuing to have a problem with cracked handles -- and wasn't that something you addressed when you went to Nepal? (Not that I'm complaining, please understand, because I LOVE blems, the cracked handles give us forumites the chance to get some great khuks at great prices!)
