...to the plot's association must be up to date :D My Chitlangi left Reno at 0450 on 10/10, and arrived at my door at 1100 on 10/12 - Maybe he is hitchhiking on AF-1.

The sheath is embossed with what I call the "Dragon on the Water" - several I've received have this, and it is my favorite - looks like the dragon swimming over his reflection on a lake.
The Karda and Chakma are exceptional - best blades I've seen so far on the small pieces, and the Chakma handle has a carved design on the butt (to differentiate by feel?) while the Karda is smooth. Both have chos.
The knife - well, aside from my fancy UBE, this is the fanciest so far. The Dui Chirra blade is fascinating - nice to just sit and look at :) Perfectly symetrical, shaving sharp, with good engaving and inlays along the sword of shiva. The bolster is checkered, next to the joint with the handle. The space between the rings, on the handle, is checkered. The butt cap will be perfect with just a tad of touch-up around the edges. The buttcap washer is embossed around the edges, like a milled coin. The handle is Saatisal, and needs oil...lots and lots of oil HEHEhehe. I knew from Yvsa's enthusiasm that this would be a keeper, and now I'm firmly in the Chitlangi Choir :) OOOhHhhh Yes - Tsimi...It's a DURBA :rolleyes:
 
Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I still remember the 45 days it took to get a khukuri from Reno to Waco via priority mail.

I thought you might like that knife, Wal.

Nothing to forgive when one speaks the truth.
I read Tsimi's post the same way.

Maybe he needs talking to as the little guy in my sig is?

...................That is a somewhat derisive term, referring to the sometimes manic trading habits among and between "The People" as we call our various divisions. There was a great deal of trading between the tribes, and many itinerant traders as well. The Europeans soon got into this industry, and found that it was not uncommon for a trade to be called off when one party got a better offer. This was taken as a sign that the other party lacked honor (imagine that sort of accusation, from another trader :)) and has come down as a comment made of the supposedly poor virtues exhibited by another. It must be used with careful consideration, even between friends, but in our comradery here it could be acceptable under certain circumstances, under certain conditions, and between certain people. And, it doesn't hurt to consider the source before offering judgement. Doesn't change the fact that Tsimi is an INDIAN GIVER, though :D

Anyone who gives you something for your very own and then takes it back, saying that's not what they had really done.
It happened a lot during the European Rape of the people living here before they came across the great waters. The Eurpoeans would give us something in exchange for something they wanted and then they would take it back leaveing the ndns with nothing.
 
Thank You, billpaxton, THANK YOU!! I looked for hours for something like that:D

Harry, I'm not the one with the blockage problem - I like Daves "Heavenly Hog" sauce (see other thread). Turns you into a regular Eveready Bunny....going and going an....:eek:
 
The Chitlangi is my fvorite so far- I love to just hold it and look at it when I am stressed. Mine is also one of the Durba batch and beautiful in form and balance. It is almost the cure for HIKV aka "Research". I say almost because now I want a set of them in different sizes and made by various Kamis!

PS- can't wait to show mine off to 'Mundele' from here at bladeforums-
he's coming over at 6 this evening and he doesn't stand a chance!I feel like one of the alien creatures from the Heinlein book/movie 'The Puppeteers'.
