The Berk Special -- Pix & deal.

[Bill Martino]

I didn't order these but Sanu wanted to make a couple and I'm glad he did. This is excellent work by Sanu & village sarki. They were trying to prove something to somebody whent they put this rig together and both rate 10/10 for the effort.

The khukuri is 21 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, 3/8 thick and weighs 36 ounces. Perfect work as far as I can tell. Excellent fit, finish and hardness. Bonus pay for Sanu. Nice saatisal handle, steel mounted.

The six little tools are works of art. Excellently crafted and handled with antique stag. Guessing 100 years+ old. Each one is 10/10 quality.

The scabbard is excellent and in high quality brown leather. Tinder pouch included as you can see in pix.

Overall collector quality rig.

Take it away for $375 and that's a bargain for what you're getting.

Two only available and not a nickel's worth of difference in the two.

Call or email.

Here's a better look at the little tools. Karda and chakma not so little tho -- about 9.5 inches and with plenty of stag handle to hang onto.

 

[Tom Holt]

That's an outstanding rig.

Not for the first time in my life, I wish I had $375...

 

[Bill Martino]

Sanu didn't stutter. My guess is some old rig with nasty, rusty blades on the little tools provided the antique stag horn. Rusty blades probably ended up recycled into kagas katnes. Nothing is wasted.

 

[Bill Martino]

Both gone.

Amazing works of art. Very beautiful. Congrats to the new owner(s).

Khukuri with field surgery kit. That is a bone saw isn't it?

 

[Bill Martino]

That's it.

Wow.

What do you call that blade ! ?

I'm sure glad all that effort I went to in molding and casting Berk's Big Dui Chirra has paid off for HI. It really made a snazy set with the tools and all.

Maybe it could become a regular item !!

Yep, this is pretty much the doctoral thesis for the PhD in kamicraft. Since Bura did the first one, I imagine Sanu has been itching to show what he could do. Hope the new owners enjoy theirs as much as I do mine.

Uncle,

Give these guys slack. They have better stuff in them then we usually give them credit for (although we regard them pretty highly already!). These are excellent! HI should have more of these works of art.

I think they are back on track again. Those bandhs (strikes) the Maoists inflick on the country scare everybody. The kamis try to work during the bandhs and I think maybe that is not a good idea because they are too scared and nervous to do good work.

These two by Sanu are fine work indeed.

 

[firkin]

Beautiful work!

snapped up fast too.

 

[Raven's Beak]

Any chance of getting some made without the fancy stag-handled tools for us po'folks? I love the shape of this blade and the fullering. I bet they would sell.

I hope this one goes up for regular item status

 

[Bill Martino]

I think Berk's first model came with karda and chakma only and he ordered the special set of tools with antique stag horn handles. Now the kamis think this is the way this model should be made and sent. It's hard to get them to change back.

We have problems with the YCS because we offer three or four different versions. I hate to offer variations because the original always suffers.

I just saw this post, and my hand was automatically reaching for my wallet. Thank goodness they're both gone; I need to be saving my money. I guess that's one of the advantages of only visiting the Cantina at night.

Absolutely beautiful!

What a fantastic rig! This one goes into my khukuri pic archive.
