I just received my new Ganga Ram Special...not the baby, but the full-size beast. It is a beauty. It has an almost perfect curve along the back of the blade from the handle down to the tip, which I really like.

The chopping area of the blade sings as I run a crock stick across it. Neither of my other two khukris do that. I guess it is a combination of the blade hardness and the almost hollow grind at the edge.

There was only one flaw...the handle got a slight ding during shipping. Other than that-perfect.

Also, the brass chape on the tip of the scabbard had come loose and fell off as I was handling it. The sarki had done the leather finishing underneath very nicely, so I decided to leave it off for a while and see how I like it. That brass chape always make me more nervous than the blade.

I haven't had time to do a field run with it. The only thing I have chopped were three ***** willow stalks that my wife needed me to cut so she could plant them ("See how useful this thing is?")

Anyway, for what my 2/100 of a dollar is worth, if you don't have a GRS, you really need one.

It is a heck of a knife aint it?

My GRS is the big knife that I grab now. That is until I get the mega salayan.

Looking forward to getting my Baby GRS that I have on order and wondering how it's going to compare to my YCS.

And RF I know what kind of willow you're planting. The censor also takes away words even when used in an innocent context.

I used to have one of those willows in my yard many long years ago and wish I had another. They grow here, just not in the wild that I've seen.

And Matt I bet you still grab the GRS even afer you get a Mega Salyan unless you're gonna split some wood.
The Mega S excells at wood splitting IMO!!!!

Indin word for lousy hunter.
 
Well, that censor beats all. I didn't even notice that it blanked out the word when I posted it.

For those of you that just have to know, the Latin name is of the plant is "Salix discolor" (I looked it up).
