My wife loved the jola and the AK Bowie that she got for her birthday. The Bowie was one of those "If you don't like it, I'll take it and get you something else" things, but she went crazy over it as soon as she opened it. I have her doing daily "Really Big Knife Aerobics", a little pricier than Tae Bo, but better practical applications! I may have to get her a Khuk, though. She really likes the small handle (compared to my MS) on the 15" AK. Thanks again!
