Sanu and Bura were the only two kamis who made the YCS to my liking and I like those that are to specs, look good, and don't fail. The other kamis who tried to make this job only got it right about half the time so I'm discontinuing this model until further notice.
Bura can't make anything right now and Sanu must take over some of Bura's old duties -- kothimodas and Dhankutas to name a couple plus helping run the production -- so he does not have the time to spare right now. If thinks ever get back to more or less normal we'll offer the YCS again but as of today it has disappeared from the shopping site.
The only one I have left is a steel mounted version by Murali. 17.5 inches and 26 ounces. Fit and finish are very good. Handle inlay on big handle nicely done. Inlay on kardas not as well done. Big blade has a stutter on edge right side. Don't think it will give a problem but doesn't look perfect like Sanu or Bura version. Has the two kardas and sharp pointed awl. Good scabbard by village sarki in new leather.
If you want a pix I'll try to get one but can't promise. Got one good pix out of nine tries this AM. Time for new DC.
I'll let this one go for $125 but if it fails will not replace but will give credit toward something else.
If interested email me to get the last YCS.
