Three BirGorkha village models by Bura

[Bill Martino]

When I pulled these knives out of their scabbards to do the pix and saw Bura's cresent moon and the L B in Devanagari I thought about that little guy pounding and sweating to make these all the while a tumor growing in his head and I can tell you I got a lump in my throat the size of an apple. First this pix.

If we lose Bura we will suffer a terrible loss. I don't even like to think about the possibility.

All these three are marked with Bura's cresent moon and initials LB in Devanagari. Blade is marked with BG rather than HI.

top -- typical village model that looks a lot like the WWII model. 18 inches and 29 ounces. Excellent work by Bura. Minor rust damage -- five minutes clean up. Good karda and chakma. Same of perfect scabbard by village sarki in new leather. Delivered to your door for $95.

center-- another typical village model that looks a lot like a WWII model. It's 17 inches and weighs 25 ounces. Excellently done. Minor rust on blade -- five or ten minute clean up. Excellent karda and chakma. Typical village sarki scabbard. Take it home for $95.

bottom -- beautiful little work horse -- 13.75 inches and 18 ounces. Not a thing wrong with this knife. Good karda and chakma. Good scabbard and frog. Take it away for $60.

Mine, mine, mine...heh heh heh.

Uncle Bill, you should have received the money and shipping details by now. If not please let me know and I will...I will...jump up and down and swear at my computer!

Then I will send the info using a different email address.

I am very sorry to see of Bura's illness. Hope everyone else is well.

All the best

Michael
