First thoughts: "How the hyell am I gonna open this freaking box."
Then after about 15 minutes of struggleing with the box and the plastic bag wrapped sheath and blade, "HOLY SWEET MOMMA OF TOLEDO"
Even though the handle needs finishing, the sheath is kinda tight, and the blade needs polishing to get it back to HI standards, just by holding it the kuk screams for business! Now I know why these are so highly sought after!
Maybe it is the rough finish that it has, but this thing has attitude beyond that of my 21" Chitlangi.
The chitlangi is a great blade, perfect double fullers, checkered handle and bolster, wonderful grainlines. But the GS just says something the Chit does not.
I think I have a favorite in the making
All I know is that since my Chitlangi and GS arrived my M43 has been getting loanly.
Lets see what happens.
