Special little Bilton Kothimoda by Sgt. Karka. Good deal.

ArchAngel,

Let us know when yours arrives how you like it. Who knows, I might have gotten the ugly dull one of the bunch! :D :) ;)
 
Sgt. Karka does really nice work. I bought one of his 15" AK's and it is really nice,and it also came shaving sharp. I don't think anyone would be displeased with one these neat knives.

It also makes you feel good that your helping out his son and I think their special because his knives are not very common.
 
E-mail sent here 7 pm. your time Uncle Bill. Hope there's one left.

Best Regards,

Svashtar
 
E-mail sent and fingers crossed on the last one. I'd tried to order one of these the first go around.

No luck, "all gone", but for the best. You only need one Bilton if it's a good one, and I've already got two good ones. One's a dadgum mutant of a Bilton, made at Bir Ghorkha. It's a half inch longer than usual, and everything about it's size is plussed up proportionate to the added length, a regular old "Texas Model Bilton" you might say. The other was sent to me by a fellow forumite, and is from the original first batch made by a village kami passing through Bir Ghorka. It's handle is done in very nice rosewood, and when I lemon juice etched the blade, it's temper line stood out like the hamon on a katana. No joke, it's a quarter inch wide on the right side of the blade, 3/16" on the other, and runs the full length of the cutting edge. Crazy.

Ain't got a Bilton yet? Where you going to find a hand forged, differentially hardened, just plain cool, knife for 35 bucks? You could buy a set of six and use 'em as steak knives, and still pay less than what I see fellers asking for "custom" knives at gun shows. Me like the little boogers? How'd you guess?
