Some time back Auntie in her infinite wisdom thought this knife would make a perfect mate to the earlier wheelchair ramp knife. Everyone remembers that, engraved with what looks like a wheelchair ramp up to a house. Everyone figured it was me and bless me since my memory ain't working somebody paid for it and had it sent to me. Good day for me and I'll remember who you are as soon as I post this. Thank you again.
Anyhow here it is being used as a test medium for my blade rack planning.
Quite nice, nicely engraved and love the shape of the bell on the handle.
A better shot of the side showing the engraving and the subject of today's lesson.
And a close up of the subject.
Myself being the inquisitive soul I am, always on the quest for knowledge I sometimes remember for days or even a week sometimes asked Yangdu what it says.
She had a hard time seeing it clearly enough so she contacted the shop manager and Kumar and received the following information.
Where did I leave that paper that tells me what she said.........................hmmmm, give me a second.....................aw in my lunch bag so I wouldn't forget where I put it.
The writing says......give me a drum roll here please......
I'm waiting........cue drum roll........
It says the date the knife was made which happened to be The Nepali New Year 2074.
Date is 22/2074/1
And below that is Baishak / Punam
I thought this was pretty cool information and made an already cool knife even far more special.
Thanks Yangdu for sending it to me, it's now under glass along with the much favored wheelchair ramp knife. And thanks also again to the member that paid for it who I feel horrible about forgetting at this moment. Grrr, memory is such a terrible thing to waste.
As for the language lesson, I do this as a public service with a lot of help from Yangdu and the shop manager.
That's all I got for now. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Reruns of Wanda Wanda and for you younger folks. Peppa Pig & Shimmer and Shine!!!
Aww, found a shot of the engraved wheelchair ramp.
