Take a look at the pix of the YCS Special. The one I have looks almost the same. The blade is made by Sanu and is excellently done and so are the blades on the kardas BUT this was made when they were under the gun at BirGorkha and apprentices did the inlay work on the handle and some other detail work and it shows. It is not bad, but certainly not perfect. Additionally, the awl is blunt tipped and whoever gets this rig will have to spend three minutes at the grinder to get the tip sharp. Reason is the wood model of the awl got the tip broken off and they are making per model! I've asked them to quit this since the model is no longer original.
The knife is sound and strong and goes with full HI guarantee so if you don't mind a little sloppy detail work you can save $70 off regular.
Call or email if interested.
