Thanks Conan...been wanting one for awhile, and this one is made by Tirtha, and I love his work, so I pulled the trigger on this one. Besides, it looks like it wanted to come home with me...

Slowly getting back to normal. I just needed some sleep last night, got 5 hours, felt good.

Snagging a Tirtha CAK, made it all worth it.

I suggest you open a new thread, to make sure the pictures don't get lost in-between other posts. I, for one, am very interested to see them. Welcome!

The Tirtha 16" 31oz CAK just arrived, and it's a BEAST! The girth on the handle is substantial, but allows a nice solid grip, and it isn't too big for a snap chop. I like the "flared" ends on the karda and chakma. The fullers that Tirtha put on this blade is crazy, deep and very definitive.

Needs a little work on the blade, some burr removal and sharpening of the blade via mousepad. The handle needs a little TLC near the buttplate, no big deal, just some polishing. It'll give me some "alone" time with her, and get to know her a little better, that's all. Lines, edge, the whole blade, just screams, made by Tirtha!

Here's the pics:

Thats sweet cul! Your right about them lines. These Kamis seem to be getting even better these days if thats possible. Tirtha makes an awesome blade! I dont have a huge hand but I really appreciate the larger girth. Helps index the blade better. You can keep it light in the hand and really snap some energy into your swing! Beautiful blade! Congratulations!
