PGA#2 for 3/21 -- Malla by Bura

[Bill Martino]

Here's an 18 inch 23 ounce Malla by Bura. The blade needs a final polish and there's a crack in the handle which looks stabilizied that needs matching color epoxy fill. Otherwise entire rig is perfect. Great karda and chakma. Scabbard and frog perfectly done by village sarki.

We'll deliver this rig to your door for $95 today -- $80 off regular and a real deal.

I notice in the photo that the cho seems to go about 2/3 or so of the way through the blade from edge to spine. Now I know that HI khuks are big, thick, and tough, but wouldn't that big of a cho, right near the handle, pose a potential problem of (I blush to suggest) the blade cracking or breaking in heavy use? I don't intend to buy this, and even if I did I know the HI lifetime guarantee would cover it ... but I'm just really quite curious about such a strange design. Or are all Mallas like that and I just never noticed before?

 

[Bill Martino]

No problems to date. There's still a lot of steel to try to bend or break there.

Is this one still available?

It's gone. I forgot to post GT? (can't remember where and it's Heineken time so I'm not going to go look to see where it went).
