Sorry no specs. When John Powell stops by perhaps he will give some information on specs and variations.

Howard, nice display of how measurements for the Kuhkuris are done. Very informative for a beginner like me, now when I tell Uncle Bill that I am looking for a "skinnier" blade, I can say "approximately 3 and 3/8" drop, about 15" blade length, about 2" belly depth, and about 4" handle length." Thanks, Howard!!!

Chad,

You're welcome. I'm just providing a space to display the information.

Credit for the measuring conventions and the drawing goes to Yvsa and John Powell.

You can't rehire them, but you could give them a raise, Bill. Not in dollars and cents -- a raise of $0.00 per year would not adequately express your esteem for them -- instead, I suggest you give them a raise of 5%.

Cougar, that's a good idea and consider it done.
