Here is an 18 inch, almost two pound, WWII made and marked by Kumar. Fit is good, finish is good, hardness is 59 - 60 Rc and edge will take hair off my arm. The problem with this knife is a couple of small indentations on the right side of the blade where Kumar has worked out some slight fold line or forging flaw. A very small line can still be seen near the foward part of the chopping area but it will never go anywhere.
The picture shows the bad side of the blade (opposite side is perfect) and if you look very closely you can see a couple of small horizontal lines and those are the indentations I'm talking about.

Karda and chakma decent enough. Scabbard nicely made and tooled by the sarki with no name. Frog is only 25 year HI superfrog. Take a look at this one and if you want a hundred year frog holler.

We will send you this rig delivered right to your door for $95 today, $50 off regular, because of those flaws which are so minor you have to look hard to see them.

Call or email if interested.

Good afternoon all. Just window shopping, not buying.
 
The handle on this and yesterdays' UBDOTD are nice. They are so shiny it almost looks like they are made from plastic...
 
Ciao Zio Bill,
Just wanted to say hello from Sydney Australia. We are tied up alongside as a floating accommodation for the Olympics.
Nice Khuk!
