There is nothing like knowing that you cannot get something to make you want it more. Uncle bill will be swamped with new orders when he gets back.

So some Ganga Rams are 21 & 3/4" or 22" and others 19"? I thought the big GR's were $250, but are the little 19" ones less? the one in the picture doesn't look much different than a big 18" AK - a forward angle from what I can see.

Great Pic Sing!! At least on my 27" screen TV.
Your Ganga Ram looks almost like an AK with a bit more belly. Actually it looks real close to my 18" AK except a bit bigger. I know that photos sometimes lie to the observer, but I am seeing the fuller at the top of the blade like on the AK's. Am I seeing that correctly? Also mine appears to be more curving as the curve starts right at the boster and continues in an arc like a French Curve to the point. I believe that you or someone said that all the GRS's were forward curving.
Mine is nicely tapered from spine to a little over 1/3 way down the blade and then it tapers gently up to the edge bevel. Not what you could actually call a fuller in it's general accepted form. I believe the thinner edge is what makes it the excellent chopper it is with of course the weight factored in also. I believe it is of excellet design and would work well in a 16" to 17" lighter format as well.
LMAO!! Rusty nd me must have been posting at the same time. At least it appears that we are seeing pretty much the same thing!
