Here is it again!

I'm still wishing there was some way I could have kept this one but there was not. I wouldn't even touch the blade with a file -- felt I didn't have the right.

More are in the works so stay tuned.

I haven't been able to use the YCS any since the initial test due to weather, but what little I did makes me anxious to do more, although careful testing.
I have the whole rig sharpened up very nicely and these are some of the sharpest knives I
have!!
I know it will never have the raw power of an AK, yet she chops deeply and with some practice may become just as an efficient chopper
for me.
She is becoming my favorite and may be the one I first pickup for work from now on. Time will tell.

Is Rusty here yet?
If you have email addresses you can send every one of them this link and ask them to pass it to others they know.

Bill,please put the 20"er on hold.I would rather get on the YCS list.I would also like one of the plain models.
So I sum up:1 YCS like above
1 plain
There is just no help for me.

:
Ray to clarify.... Do you want the plain one with the YCS tools?
I think Uncle Bill said the plain ones would come with the standard karda and chakma at the price he quoted.

When or if I get the plain one I want to get the YCS tools done up plain as well. And I want the whole rig steel mounted even it it costs more. I feel the tools make up an important part of this
rig.
I really like the steel furniture on a real using rig!! Gotta get this one paid for first!!!

Bro.?

PS the khukuri is a lot more pointy than the pic as well. Something about the angle the pic was taken at I guess.
The larger karda also looks different, longer blade to handle ratio, than it really is.

I can relate my personal feelings about this very beautiful blade and her smaller sisters to being young and
healthy and finding out that the most beautiful girl in the state you have secretly been in love with since you could walk is
really,
truly, deeply, and madly in love with you when you thought you would
_never_ stand a chance and that she's at your beck and call, willing to do anything and everything your heart desires as often as you would like and not a bit jealous of her smaller sisters who feel just like she does about you.
To compare a very well known shampoo commercial, it is a very organic experience.

(VBEG) YMMV

( just sorta teaseing.

I do hope and pray that she and her sisters can work as well as she looks!!!! That's the ultimate test and yet to be totally proven.
Like I keep saying, "Time will tell."

Yvsa ,
Your analogy has me all hot and bothered!!!

Cold shower time!

The plain will be fine with me.Though I like the tools,I have never carried them.The swiss army has always been my utility,that is,till the Leatherman Wave,and if I was to lose one of those it really won't bother me,but if I dropped one of those nice kardas over the side of my canoe;it would not sit right.So Bill plain it is.
Waiting is OK with me.

Sanu is loaded up and this is the reason for the wait. Many people request him to make their knives and now he has a dozen YCS and a dozen plain YCS facing him. I think it will be next year before we get the last of them made but we will ship as he gets them finished and they will go to those in queue.
