Interesting, very nice lines. Nothing like the Suga I have. Very nice.
 
EMS for the Suga Knife. It's an artistic design and the handle looks like it will fit my hand perfectly. Also, at 22 oz it's a pretty robust blade.

By HI standards, 14" is a relatively small knife, but not to the rest of the world. :)

Got the Done Deal. :) :)

I think this is the first one of its kind. All the previous (Padam) Suga Knives were very different in the shape of the blade and handle. The Padam Suga Knife has a half-guard and is a lot smaller and lighter weight than this new Suga Knife.

What they have in common is the downward hook at the pommel. Maybe that's what the word "suga" refers to.

Looks like they both have a sharpened swedge, but the new one is long and straight, while the older version is short and upswept.

Here's a Padam Suga Knife, 11" OAL and 15 oz, typical except for the antler handle.

Oh man!??? You just had to go and post a picture of one with an Antler Handle. Cheap shot buddy.

My Suga like that (less antler) kind of has a false edge as I recall, have to go hold it, haven't held it for days. I could be wrong but I'll check. I'll also see bout the possibility of hanging some antler on that puppy. Antler is my kryptonite. Just drops me in me tracks.
 
I have a couple of the Padam Suga knives, and as I recall, I think "suga" means "bird", for the bird-like beak on the pommel. But this one is strikingly different in design.

Me too cul! I was able to snag a Padam model. Mine has an arrow on it. Do you know who’s mark that is? Bhakkta? I love it!

There's a link near the top of the HI forum web page that provides kami marks for many (not all) of the HI kamis. Bhakta's mark is there: a bow and arrow. This is it:

FYI. Padam's mark isn't listed, never was. Some marks are duplicated by different kamis. If you send a pic of the knife in question and a pic of the kamis mark, auntie can usually verify the kamis for you.
 
That is what my Suga looks like. I looked at it last night to see if I could hang antler on it. I like it to good the way it is to try it now. Maybe later.
I know the kami but I'm blocking at the moment, just looked last night. It's like a candle?
Hate it when this happens, I'll look again tonight.
I keep thinking yuvraz but don't recall for sure.

Yuvraj is the candle, but I believe Padam is a vertical arrow mark, literally a line with the pyramid point at the top, when making the Suga knives. I'll take a pic later, I just checked one of my sugas, which I know is a Padam, and the mark is definitely an arrow.
 
I said earlier my Suga had kind of a false swedge, I was wrong, it's SHARP. Got myself a couple times when it was new as I wasn't used to that.

Yea, I think if I remember correctly, I gifted a suga to a hunting buddy of mine, and he field dressed a deer with it, and he said it was the best, especially with the sharpened top swedge, upswept point, nice big belly, and finger grooves.
