Spaceghost you ninja, hiding in that long grass sniping deals ;)

Awesome knives today :) toothless till I find something I wanna bite on ;)
 
Sweet grab on the M43 Spaceghost.... You got a gem! That chiruwa AK has some really nice wood. The Gelbu is the same length and weight as the one I already have but the wood on this one is so much nicer. You would be surprised how light 30oz is when the length is that long, the blade angle also increases transitional speed... It's the best fighter of the bunch.
 
tirtha is still one of my favorite kami, solid khuks and a dashing mark in admiration of beer
 
Yeah, I've been thinking about an M43 for a while now as I dont have one yet ;) It was hard not to go for the CAK too; both look amazing. ~ I have a Farm Knife by Tirtha, its one of my favorites!
 
m43 goes fast for good reason, I have 4 or 5 and still want more, the lines are just nice, and its a very lively blade; one of the best designs I think at HI
 
That AK would be my pick of the litter. Just an incredible piece:)

I agree, that CAK is the pick of the litter. Villager finish, Rhododendron wood handle, and made by Tirtha? What else you want? Maybe an 18", that's about it.

If it's still around this afternoon, I might have to just "bite the bullet", and sleep with that Bawanna garbage can over my head for protection.

I have that garbage can right now cul. I suppose im safe enough from the Bura AKB purchase now. I could send it your way with Bawannas approval.
PS. It wont fit in a triangle box.
 
No worries, I have several backups if needed.

The key is the super heavy galvanized type can. A khuk goes through them tupperware cans like I Can't Believe It's Not Butter.

I'm working on a supply of some of the super heavy corrugated drain pipe. I could cut it in 7 or 8' lengths and a man at risk could build em a nice little nest inside. Even a CAK would have a tough time cutting through those.

Aw man, we're not in Cantina, it was a set up. I'm a dead man.
 
Just testing ya. I think were prolly equall on the points. We need to put one of them drain pipes between the main HI forum and the cantina for times like now so we can safely slip out of here:rolleyes: Man Im having Khuk withdrawals. I hadnt bought one in a few weeks or so at least? Help Aunti! Please post something! Curved Spine would be cool! Hmmm? Dont think id get through the pipe with a curved spine?

Oh your right. Three of them still avaliable? I shut up now. I do like that Gelbu.
 
really like everything thamar has done so far, also really glad those bowies found their way to you ndog, I always felt they should have gone to you , and it looks like the universe agreed :D( that chit bowie and and AKB bura I did a trade and a sale for my exotic woods plus that "pheasant knife")
 
I really like em both! Thanks for letting them go. Theres so much character in each one its like they are different models almost. Bura, Vim, and Bhakta AKs are each their own! The Lachhu Chit Bowie is very cool too. Smaller than I expected for some reason but awesome knife. The horn matches My GCB so great pair!
 
yeah it is a perfect pair that matching horn, was what I was holding out for and gave up on-- just a great 'pirate' set that GCB and CB,-- the smaller one is a great fighter because it is so small I think, and a great consistent distal; and yeah could not agree more about the nice character between the different bowies-- bhakta most refined by a mile, but I love the genuine melding of a khuk and a bowie that bura managed perfectly; vim builds monsters that could pry car doors open I think
