18.5" and 32 oz. by Kumar, with rare Osage Orange chiruwa handle with inlay; comes with a black buffalo-hide leather scabbard and 2 large matching wood companion YCS Kardas and awl. (Note that this scabbard did not come with a frog). Correct standard (non-habaki) bolster and full polished blade.
The knife is new, unused, uncarried and unsharpened. There is no edge to the tang or the pommel where it meets the wood, so no shrinkage. The Osage Orange was USA supplied material to the HI Kamis, and has gorgeous grain.
The pictures speak for themselves, and these great HI's are long out of production.
$295 + $15 Priority Mail Shipping & Insurance
Prefer not to ship OCONUS, but will do so to people I’ve dealt with before at their ship cost.
Prefer PayPal, and I cover the fees. Will ship to PP confirmed addresses only.
If interested please PM me here or write to n-l-morris@sbcglobal.net which is also my PP address.
Thanks for looking.
