"Plain Jane" Yvsa Khuk Sign-up

[Steven F]

Anyone wanting a "working version" of Yvsa's beautiful khuk, sign up here. I hope to one day get the "real McCoy," but in the meantime I would like to get a plain version. Uncle Bill, as per his usual policy, will place the order if we can get five takers.

I'm down for one.

Great idea. Put me down for one- hopefully with a chainpuri wooden chiruwa style handle, also with the habaki style bolster, and as wide as can be arranged- if all those modifications are okay with Yvsa.

Luckily I have a UBE already on order to tide me over in the mean time.

Once again Uncle shows his willingness to go the extra mile to take care of ALL his loyal fans- I mean customers.

Thanks

With four new kamis I am hoping the special projects will not take as long as they once did. I hope to be caught up fully by the end of the year and if I do that will be a first.

Looks like a double post. Finn, I can't change the design before we even get started. The kamis will get confused.

But trust me, if they even come close to the Yvsa Special you won't be disappointed.

:
I am going to wait a bit as I want another with steel furniture and the tools in the original set as well as a hammer dingy finish in the fullers if possible.
And I want to see how the original performs first.

It might be a good idea to wait on this until we get a report from you, Bro. Remember, this little jewel weighs less than 1.5 pounds and weight makes a difference in performance.

But it's so beautiful I am ready to sacrifice some performance!

Please add me to the list. I also prefer the wooden handles.

Sorry for the double post/synapse dud.

You're right- I'd be happy and am willing to wait until you and Yvsa sign off.

Many Thanks

As far as handle material goes, I'm OK with either wood or horn -- just whatever the rest of the folks want! I'm easy!

 

[Bill Martino]

I'll order next week. We have a couple of takers via email.
