Primarily I hang around in W&SS, but from time to time I visit some of the manufacturer's forums. I've always noticed how the some of the denizens of said forums have a loyalty bordering on fanaticism, so when I read things like Ms Yangdu's magical skills regarding quick delivery of product, I tend to write it off as wishful thinking.

Well was I wrong.

One week ago today, Ms. Yangdu said she mailed my Sgt. Khadka CAK. Today, it arrived! What a hunk of steel! (mailman was muttering something about hernia....) Keep in mind that I live in Canada and this is the Christmas mail season!

I'm looking forward to getting out and putting it to work, although, I have to say, it's a bit intimidating! I'm sure that will pass, though, once I get used to it.

Anyway, this was just a long-winded attempt at thanking you, Ms Yangdu, for your excellent service. :thumbup:

Yeah, Doc, Yangdu works hard and fast.

Congrats on the CAK. I recently picked up one of his CAKs and it is a really nice khuk. Chops really well.

Be safe and enjoy.

Yangdu is definately something, isn't she.

Like to see some pics of your CAK. I've got an 18" and a 13", and love them.

Cool, I've always wanted to be a denizen. . .

Here's a couple of pictures. The blade looks black because I had to take the picture at an angle to avoid the glare off the shiny blade - I have to make a light tent.

Here's a picture with my Cincinnatti Becker Machax -

It actually looks exactly like this picture from this sub-forum.

Welcome Doc! I'm probably one of the fanatics from over on W&SS who drove ya to the point of HIKV infection.

Wait till you handle an M-43.

Very nice! What size CAK is that?

Haha - typical wildmike comment

Agreed though - you sold me on snagging an M-43 and I'm very pleased with it :thumbup:

Bit curious about that myself... the keyboard is telling me 16.5", but the machax is telling me 15"

It is supposed to be 15.5 inches. I just measured it and it's 15.5 inches from blade tip to the centre of the butt end.

Thanks for all the positive comments, guys.

Man, you're so right about that. I was already thinking about the CAK by Sher that's in today's DOTD.

Doc

MacHete · Dec 10, 2009

And congrats on your CAK- you will never tire of finding new ways to use it.

Yangdu, as well as her entire line of products, is amazing. :thumbup: Deal with her, and expect to be spoiled.

DOC-CANADA · Dec 10, 2009

Thanks MacHete.
