M43 for trade

[Spectre]

Hey, everybody.

What makes a kuk right for us is such a nebulous thing, sometimes. I love my WW II. My Chitlangi feels pretty good, still wearing its grip tape- now starting to wear through a little on the handle. For certain applications, my "Big Daddy" GRS feels fine.

I have handled several sirupatis, and they all felt wrong to me. The folks I gave them to fortunately seemed to suffer no such problems.

I got a Bura M43 just over a year ago. I wanted a Bura, and I wanted to try the M43.

It's a beautiful piece, but it feels wrong to me. I have never used it on anything. I was planning on sending it to Dale Sandberg to install an aluminum handle, but then it finally occurs to me that it would make more sense to just get a different kuk, than alter this one drastically in the hope that I'll like how it feel after modification.

...

Best,

John

You will note that this blade has more angle than most M43's evidently do. Believe this piece was described as "hybrid".

John, Email sent and thanks for the offer, I really like the looks of the hybrid.
