Here's my carved version living on top of the TV. Still pondering how to include the two Karda's and chakma.
The handle, not a great picture but it's quite nicely carved.
The tools for both.
And the other version hanging with the family on the wall.

Oh! I thought you was talkin about my wife
The YCS is a great knife. I often wish they made a villager model and sold it like the KLVUK because its design is really unique. Its really front heavy and a great chopper. I really like the carved ones too. Nice one Bawanna

My 15” CB and my 24.5” GCBAbsolutely love the feel of them! This photo doesn’t show the fullers very well. Couldn’t get the better photos to post. Both are made by Kumar.
Mr. Tall did you good right there! Everybody has to have a GCB

I don't see a "Post Your Himalayan Imports Pics here" for collectors to share their knives pictures. Do we have one like that in this forum for HI? If no we definitely should start one!

EMS Oyster knife!
There aint no better food than a 50 pound sack of raw oysters on the fly for the beach trip home! My wife would watch out behind me for cars coming up on us from behind so I didnt throw spent shells into their windshield and in exchange Id hand feed her the spoils of the sea goddesses for her services It was a long straight boring road along a railway road across Sinton / Taft and I got pretty dang good driving my 1969 Ford Econoline Van with my knees along that long stretch of road whilst shucking oysters along the way. Id shuck and pitch and feed till a car came up on us. Once we got inland far enough that we had to concentrate on traffic we had to refrain and save the rest of the bag for a later time but generally we were so tired from a few weeks of beach camping that we had to seriously concentrate just to get home. Then when we got home we usually had a bath tub full of live blue crabs purging so we had to wait till the next day after work to put them up so we could take a bath. Live blue crabs and fresh oysters were more important than going to work salty and dirty. Thats what water hoses are for! I sure miss them days!
This is the coolest oyster knife I ever saw! I hope its still there! I dont know how I missed it?
