Here it is in the full scale version and I think Kumar has had very good luck with this effort. It is a very comfortable, neat little knife.

The fit and finish are excellent. Blade very nicely hardened. Handle is saatisal (Nepali red oak, I think) and nicely formed and finished.

Specs are:

Overall length 9 & 3/4 inches.
Blade length 5 & 5/8
Blade width 7/8
Blade thickness 1/8
Weight 4 oz.

Scabbard is very good but frog is too small for heavy duty carry.

Price will be $55 rather than $75. Better to be safe than sorry. It is much easier to lower than raise a price.

I'll have to look but I think two are gone. Leaves three available, possibly four.

Call or email if interested.

Yeah!! That's the ticket.A pair of those crossed underneath a pair of khuks would set it of nicely.
That's also a good size for the kitchen so we better watch the wife's around them.

LMAO.I just went back to several days so I could find this thread and bring it up.Uncle had beat me to it.

Guys I gotta tell you!!!
These "little" knives are dayum-ed phenominal!!

Like Uncle says,I got two of them for now.X-mas and all that you know,but I am tempted to get the last one anyway.I think it would make a nice "purse carry" for my g'daughter.
I have had one on my person since I got them.I do have to tell you that you have to be careful of that sharp pinted chape if you carry it in your front pocket.It has a way of "pokein" you where you don't wanna be "poked."

I have to favorably compare them to the Sammi Puukka knives from Sweden,Norway and the other countries where the Sammi people live.

Soo if anyone doesn't take this one,I will Uncle,but give the rest of the boys a couple of days.I thought I was bein greedy at two of them.

PS The pic doesn't really do them justice.They are much nicer in the hand.
Maybe it is the scabbard being so close,but the blades are 5 1/2" long and mine were both sharp.

Uncle Bill,

If the karda is stil available I'd like it.

And there's a package here marked "Fragile" all over it !?!?!?!

Gotta unpack first - BTW mail on the way.

Thanks!
