Bill said today that Yangdu would tackle the project. The price is going to be $150.00 because according to Yangdu there's no guarantee the lazy kamis will do the job like we want it done to warrant the $175.00 price tag for an extra good job.
Bill/Yangdu will have two prototypes done,
When they're finished one will be sent to Dan Koster and the other to me.
I figure two viewpoints will be better than one and what works for me or Dan might not work for the other so we will have an accurate accounting of the khukuri.
Hopefully the first ones will be as desired and we can give an okay to the project, if not hopefully Bill and Yangdu will be willing to have a couple more prototypes made.
I want these done to our specs!
special pre-paid run of the Foxy Folly in a 17" length with a 4-1/2" long handle from top of angle on bolster to bottom of buttcap, standard karda and chakma, wood handles, steel mounted, no habaki bolsters, no cho creep, 24 to 28 ounces in weight, and fat convexed edges, and well oiled before shipment.
So start saving your money if you haven't already got it. Time will be getting short before you know it!
When/if the prototypes are approved then I'll post the current sign up list and you can check your options then.
Whooopppeeeee!!!!
Sorry about the bold print at the bottom. I cut and pasted the specs from a draft in my email and it won't quit printing in it.
:grumpy:
Edit:
Upon approval of the prototypes either I or Dan will post where and when to send the money. We're working together to bring this to fruition.
