Today and tomorrow I'm mailing out all but one of the individually owned khuks sent for repair.

I've tried to protect the finish as much as possible. I also tried to keep repairs as simple as and straightforward as possible, so some of the tangs have been peined at the buttcap and the keeper epoxied on. This ensures a mechanical connection at the tang/buttcap, but the keepers may work loose with use.

If anyone has questions or problems, please e-mail me.

Working on these khuks has been a lot of fun for me. It has also given me the chance to handle a variety of styles and sizes.

The more khuks I handle, the more my admiration of the kamis grows. They are truly some of most magnificent craftsmen imaginable!

I'm running late today, but you know what you've done makes the whole HI forum grateful to you.
 
I've never seen his work but it's good to know that someone is around to fix stuff if I break it. :)
 
Exactly Bruise!

HI knives shouldn't break, but...

The kamis shouldn't have to be looking over their shoulder fearing the Maoists every now and then and in those times their work often suffers as should be expected.

And the Dasein rush to build up stock before shutting down for the holiday doesn't help.
