This is where a review of the 18" BDC should go. It's not here because I'm a throw back to a different age and cannot understand computers. I really don't understand them even when explained. To me, they are counter intuitive. I sometimes wonder about the designers. I think a lot of the design was accidental and acomplished after the fact.
In a few years, I will be united with software that no longer forces me to choose between questions and routes I do not comprehend. A window will appear and say, "munk, press this button and we'll print the pictures of the BDC to that thread you opened." I'll say, "thank you" I'll say; "Why have I spent thousands of dollars on computers and programs for next to no results?"
After two years I finally have pictures on my computer. I can send them to an email address, but I cannot post them here. There is a word I would like to use to explain my feelings about this, but I cannot say the word here.
The expensive camera I bought said right on the body; "USB connective". Unlike computers, there were easy to follow directions in the manual and I followed these. Unfortunately, my computer never recognized the camera. I have two programs to recognize the camera but neither worked. 2 years went by. Two days ago I plugged in a USB chip reader and it was instantly recognized by the computer. I sent a few of you picts of me and my hometown. If I do not hold onto what little sanity I have left regarding our society, Bill Gates, Windows and the internet, it is quite possible you may see my picture on the Post Office wall.
How was the BDC? Really great. It has a classic leaf shape with a very nice point. Detractors of HI who like to malign the company and mischaracterize the khuks as mere axes, non historic and poorly made, would have a problem with the BDC. Actually, I think the real problem has to do with their reality perception and personal integrity, but that's just a value judgment from a man who cannot work computers. But then, Computers are not really historic either, are they?
IN this spot there should be a pict of a BDC which weighs 31 ounces, has a large Elk antler handle (also non traditional as there are no Elk in Nepal or Britain) and is driven into a log. It is very easy for this khuk to eat wood. Swing it with your hand and it drives forward. It chops well. Because of the Chiruwa handle design, it is not quite as weight forward as a classic chopper can be, and to my mind, optimum for felling trees and delimbing. It can be a fighter, though, as the balance is even, the blade fairly quick for such a large blade.
In this spot there is a close up of the handle. If you use your imagination, you can see the nice finish and rather large circumfrance of the handle.
1.5" by eyeball across or diameter, and just shy of 4 1/2" distance around using a tape. The handle length is a tad over 5". It has a nice gentle sweep on either end, bolster or buttcap, and thus gives you a grip and the option of different grips. The worksmanship is superb in every way.
IN this spot we see how I've systematically eliminated all life forms responsible for Windows. Not a pretty sight, but noble.
When the Little BDC's arrived a lot of us said, "Make it 16" or 18" and you'd really have something." Well, They did, we do, and it is. Truly a wonderful khuk, top of the line, just a click below the Flagship status of the Hanuman or Dui Chirru.
I would get the BDC in a heartbeat- and I did. REally wonderful.
Take care, all of you, especially those of you who know computers. Our future is in your hands. Me, I'm really only good for chopping wood. And this blade will do that and more.
