Ems on both.

[edit]
Tamang was long gone. Got the DD on the Ang Khola.

I grabbed the Tamang! Great deals!

I agree. I'm all about restoration and second chances. I like a good sheath project too. Can't beat the prices on these two.

For the record, this was not my Tamang! My Tamang and I are still getting along great.

Amazing chopper and good edge stability now that it's good and broken in.

I would like to say thanks to Kanchhi. She must have filed this AK forever. When I received it I gave it a little touch with the belt sander and then sharpened it with my stones. Then, I tested it out on some seasoned hardwood. As usual, I made sure to do some bad glancing strikes. The edge held up. I don't believe it will have any more problems. THANK YOU KANCHHI!

Working on a sheath for it now.


Pardon my junkyard in the background.

That is some beautiful repair work!

I'm pleased as punch with my Tamang, too. Honestly, the Tamang might be my very favorite, and the fact that it already has its lumps means I have no hesitation about putting it to work. The thinner stock and less aggressive curve makes it feel like a more versatile knife, if not as strong a chopper.

 

[Yangdu]

Thank you for the kind word, Eric

 

[EricTheRedBeard]

Finally finished the sheath. It fits pretty well.

 

[Bawanna]

Wow, that looks really cool too. Very nice!

Thanks Mr. B! A knife without a sheath just ain't right. I think I'm going to try a traditional style sheath with wood wrapped in leather for that sheathless Sirupati I picked up on yesterday's sale. That will keep me busy for a while.

 

[Bawanna]

Hoping I have a couple sheaths that will fit the 2 Thamars I got yesterday, I don't often need a sheath but like to have one available.
I made a wood sheath early on, might try making another. Fun project.

Nice job Eric! I want to try the wood sheath myself soon as my projects get under control. Im wiring all the electrical circuits in my shop right now so thats keeping me busy.
