I just got this bad boy in the mail today, courtesy of our dairy-loving bladesmith friend from Vermont. JW did an amazing job on this knife. He calls it the Big Street Barong. I love everything about it. He did really nice work on the kydex, too.

Behold:

My oh my! Ain't that just a beautiful thing. I love that! Looks like a nice day in Florida too. Suns out, no hurricanes, typhoons, etc. Life is indeed good.
 
wow great work JW! and awsome buy phil, that is a sweet take on a barong.
 
DaNgGGG!!!! That's a beautiful piece of work there JW!!! I can't wait to see it philll, I might have to start stalking another maker... :D
 
Lets see the tupperware when you find the time. Finish me off and give me closure while I have my beach towel drool cloth handy so to speak. Big Street Barong, kind of rolls off the tongue don't it?
 
Wow.
I love leaf shaped blades.
Barongs and kukris included.

But this just looks friggen awesome.
 
Man that feels great all the way from Texas! Grats Phillll! Khukarong? Barukri? Nice job JW. and yes pic of tupperware party would be cool too! I really like that old micarta color. It almost looks checkered! Wow:thumbup:
 
Philll's not the only one who got a triangley box in the mail today:image.jpg
Vim 16.5" WW2 and a Bhakta CAK the same size. Sometimes making knives is even more fun than usual...
Thanks for the high praise, guys. Means a lot.
 
Dang! Those are both very nice blades! That WWII almost looks more Gelbu like with that deep fuller and thick edge. Maybe just a Vim thing but I gotta take another look at them WWII's:thumbup:
 
The WW2 does indeed have a gelbu groove to it. The front if the grip is much rounder than I'm used to, but I slimmed it where I could and it does index the edge. The ang khola is veeeery nice-feels like the descriptions I've read of Sgt. K's stuff, even though it's Bhakta.
 
thems some nice blades..very cool..waiting on a golok myself..supposed to show up today.. but nuthin..
 
Went to golok yatagan, bolo and behold it was there. Then I barung it back inside with me. Hope he was nice enough a pikal a good one for me. Gotta go find the wife and tulwar all about it.
