M43 in Howard's Video - Help Needed

[jdk1]

Fellow Forumites,

I need help. After watching Howard's wonderful video from Nepal, I'm wondering if that's my M43 Tirtha is working on. The problem is, there's really no way to know. So far, only two Tirtha M43s have surfaced from the last shipment. My wood handle and a DOTD horn handle. Mine was for sure made in September during the time of the filming. My question to you is, does any one know of any other wood handled Tirtha M43s from the last, mid October, shipment? It's not scientific, but if no one else knows of one, we might be able to assume it was mine. That would mean very much to me. It would also be neat for us all to see the "before" and "after" of khukuri making. I appreciate any help y'all can offer. I also hope you guys aren't sick of hearing about my M43. Thanks for everything. This forum is a wealth of information and entertainment. Take care and God bless.

I think that the best way to get the answer to your question would be to give Yangdu a call jdk1. She's probably the only one that could give you a definitive answer since she has first hand info on the shipments. I'd do it quick before another shipment comes in, though, so you can get her best response.

"I want my, I want my, I want my M43" (To the tune of "Money for Nothing") No, we're not sick of hearing about your M43. In fact, where are the family pictures: on a picnic, out for a stroll, sitting by the fire, watching the sunset? Seriously, I never tire of hearing about other members "favorites". Keep 'em coming.
