I just picked up the ganja ram special for sale in the main forums , just wanted to do a small dance because I have been kicking myself ever since I passed on getting one in 2000, even though this may not be a ganja ram by ganja ram, it is a great looking model with cool custom inlays. -- will post pics here when I get the thing in person
 
22.25 inches long total and 49 ounces lol, no idea how thick but I imagine it must be pretty thick to be 49 oz at 22 inches ;o
 
Thanks for buying that monster! Ive been tempted. More pics! It does have a Chitlangi like bell to it dont it? Probably needs it at 49oz. Let us know the Kami when you get it!
 
yeah i have long needed a grs in the clan, its only appropriate-- lol glad i said something before you ndog ! i totally dig the crosses too
 
Could it be the one made by Bura? A possible pedigree:

This Knife 22 inch Ganga Ram is very special. I am calling it THE CHRISMAAS KNIFE. The original was a special order and the Kamis made two. This would make an excellent Christmas gift for that special person.

Hard to make out in the pic. Hers my translation attempt fwiw:
य=ya, य्र=yra (could be yu?)
व=va

yava?
yrava?
yuva?

Dont know of any Kami that fits?
 
This blade was for sale for a long time. I was also interested, but the weight deterred me. The seller thinks the kami was Get, who is listed in one of the older postings of kami marks, but with a completely different mark. That doesn't mean it wasn't him, since kamis have been known to change their marks, especially when they are not long-time employees at HI. It's definitely not Bura.

I had to smile when Ndog wrote, "Let us know the Kami when you get it!" [emphasis added]
 
Can I get a positive ID for this Kami mark?

Return of the J.D. said:
I see that Get Bhadur is the kami who made the large chiruwa ang khola. Yangdu, do you (or anyone else) know the significance of his mark? I'm curious.

His mark looks like a diamond with a line coming out of one of the corners--kind of like this, but without spaces between the parts:

I find these kami marks fascinating. Thanks!
