top -- 18.5 inch, 29 ounce Hanuman by Kumar. Silver mounted. Excellent effort by Kumar. Fit, finish, hardess very good. Fullering very even and nicely done. Great khukuri style karda and chakma. Tweezers, awl, button hook, and chisel excellently done. Scabbard excellently done by village sarki in new leather with silver chape. Only thing wrong with entire rig is very narrow crack in handle -- epoxy and some matching wood dust and you won't see it. A steal at $125 delivered to your door and guaranteed for life.

center -- two pound 16.5 inch Chiruwa AK by Sher. 10/10 rig. Problem is horn had some irregularity and Sher made a horn plug to fill bad spot -- 1/8 by about one inch. So well done you can't feel it and can barely see it but the plug saves you fifty bucks. Take this workhorse home for $95.

bottom -- 18 inch two pound AK by the old Master, Bura. Usual 10/10 effort by Bura. Two things wrong. Scabbard took a hit during shipment and split in chopping area. Wire wrap or glue leather patch will fix it. And horn has shrunk a little and there's a small gap between horn and bolster. Some black epoxy makes it perfect. Take this winner home for $95 -- fifty buck savings.

Call or email.

Argh! That is insane! Somebody better buy it or I'm cashing in my change jar when I get home...
 
Talked to Pala and he said get rid of the blems since they are not doing us or anybody else any good laying in the blem box.
 
Actually, I think they're doing lots of good in the blem box - keeping the cash in my pocket!!! :D :D :D

:eek: Must Resist :eek:
 
Uncle,
I'd like to thank you and my lovely bride for my suprise when I came home last night- the Bura.
My other lovelies came the same day but Jeana saved them until she showed me our new addition.
A bit of an early anniversary gift. I guess it's not every day a wife will buy a khuk and hide it in the closet - a dress maybe, but not a khuk.

She'll probably want another rug tho':rolleyes: ;)

thank you again
