EMS sent on 21 inch 32 ounce Chitlangi by Purna. Purna repaired minor crack on satisal wood handle. Gorgeous rig at $118.
 
I'm leaving it for the rest of the sharks for now but first thing tomorrow morning I'm going for the Reti if it's still there.

I don't have one, been hankering for a larger one. This is largest I've seen for quite awhile.

Hope somebody gives it a home but if not it don't have to worry, I'll make room for it.

The clocks ticking......tick,tock,tick,tock......

Bawanna, I've been really tempted with that Reti. I've got a 12" one and love it. But I won't! Hope to see you purchase in the morning. Mention me as a semi merciful shark!
 
I couldn't wait till morning. I already did it. Haven't heard back.
I've wanted one for a long time, wanted a long one, just never got one.

I'm really glad you did it. Happy you won't have regrets! I haven't heard from early when this was posted. Hope I get the 2. Not you've got me wanting the Wandering knife! Ugh!
 
Good one Bawanna! Thats a beauty! You WILL be impressed!
I use my Reti for carving and shaving arrows and darts and all kinds of stuff. Its such a great draw knife for removing them stems and knots! I predict you will be very pleased!

Got the Done Deal on the on 19 inch, 44 oz Monster Char Chirra by Ram Kumar. Ordinarily I would not go for a blade this heavy, but it's a great match for the 15.5 inch, 19 oz Char Chirra, also by Ram Kumar, that I got a couple of months ago:

I added a post and a few more pictures of the Wandering Knife in the original Wandering Knife posted by Yangdu.
Great little (by HI standards knife)
 
Never heard if I got or lost out on 2 knives I did EMS on yesterday at 4:50 and 5:01. Suspense!!
 
I just heard right when I posted so she should be letting you know pretty soon.
I thought my email didn't get through too but alas all is good.
 
Picture a derelict in his wheelchair doing a happy dance!!!!!

The Reti arrived, I think it's a new world record for delivery. I was hoping for today but figured tomorrow would be lucky, but today it was.

I love this thing, thinner in all directions that I had anticipated which means I wasn't anticipating very wisely I guess. Made from a file, in LE that's what we call a clue......
I think among a bunch of other things this will make a great watermelon knife for watermelon wednesday which we always have on vacation.
Of course it will work on other melons all year long too.

I'm just tickled and delighted with this thing. Hate myself for waiting so long to get one.

I'll post a pic later on, got a few things to do and it's bloody warm in this neck of the woods. Summer is here I guess. I best get ready for it.
 
Thought you'd like it. Theres more to it than first impression tho. Those files are usually over 1% carbon unlike 5160 by definition. You will see that you almost never need to sharpen it. I have used the heck out of mine and I think I put a shaving edge on mine with just a few strokes on the diamonds and have since never had to sharpen it. No heavy choppin but you know that already. It makes a superb draw and carving knife for that reason. You will grow to like it even more as you use it! Rare and beautiful knife sir! Grats! I thought you had one by now or I'd have sent you one. They are that Khul! Enjoy!

I predict that will end up being one of your favorite knives of all time!
