Unexpected good fortune...

I am far from being an expert, only having two Kesar blades and a Bura. My Kesar Sirupati and Chitlangi are both very nice blades. In fact, the 21 inch Sirupati is so pretty I can't bring myself to use it.

The Chitlangi is a light user, and I am very happy with it. The hardness is excellent and I can put a screaming sharp edge on it. It is my ready-at-hand-night-time khukuri.

But I have to admit that my Bura AK is definitely an example of a higher level of craftsmanship. The grinds are more perfect, and the fit and finish are superior. Bura pays attention to the little details that, while not necessarily making any difference in performance, make the difference between a good and a great bladesmith. The pride he takes in his work is evident.

Just the opinion of a newbie...
 
Forgive me my directness, but Bill, you haven't said anything about Kesar. Is he leaving the factory soon?

Thanks for all the information, I am going to watch the forum for a while and try to catch a deal of the day. If not, then I guess I will just have to put in an order. That has the advantage of getting what I want but somehow it would be more exciting to take part in the thrill of the hunt when Uncle Bill makes his daily postings.
 
As far as I know Kesar is still there. He's been there so long he's just become part of the furniture and I forget him.
