And looks like it was:
Deleted - Cross posting was just addressed in the forum.

18"Ang Khola Chiruwa style - 1/2" spine, 36oz. horn handle. $50 This one has a little use. Still very solid just not as pretty as the others.

16" Ang Khola Chiruwa style - 3/8" spine, 24oz., horn handle. $50 Very nice never used.

BUT

"These are not as good as Himalayan Imports but are still good solid khuks. They are not as hard on the edge as HI khuks but still quite hard."

Still waiting for the perfect deal.
 
so, what's the problem exactly?

You guys conditionned me that HI were the best :) So I wait for a HI deal.
Am I wrong to wait for a blem or a villager?
Your toughts?

same guy in the same place is selling some HI khukris as well. good looking stuff. he had a few rare ones, and still does (wicked nice dui chirra iirc)

i think the other stuff is probably "pretty darn good" all things considered. HI is just better :)

Just tought about to other reasons to wait:

Yangdu's aftersale service looks REALLY good.
HI looks like they help a lot people in Nepal, how about that other company? (I just discovered I still am human :) )

Also, I have a lot of time until next spring. Do you use your khuks a lot during winter? IT ALREADY STARTED SNOWING IN HERE!!!

a well used proven khukri is often worth more to me :) someone could offer 3x as much for my favorite GRS, and they wouldn't go home with it. mine.

winter? trees fall, things need to be trimmed. yes, you need a khukri :) especially if you're snow-shoeing or need to tangle with a wolverine :> *rawr*

for the price 16" CAK $50... i think they are all still worth it :D
i would a few just to beat around with :thumbup:
 
It's a pretty good product tribute when someone advertises their products - openly - as not as good as yours. :)

I like that kind of honesty.
