EMS for the Pen Knife and the Tibetan Bracelet. Got the Done Deal.

I already have two Pen Knives. This one and the bracelet are for gifts.

Nice to see a Pen knife show up. One of early Bill Martino/Forum member collaborations, as I recall, the prototype was sent around the U.S. to get opinions before the final version was sent to Nepal for fabrication. Happy Days.

Pen knife was one of my first HI knives and still one of my favorites.

I think that would be a great first khukuri. I have fixed cracks in horn handles very easily and quickly with super glue. The crack almost disappears.

1. Tape off the crack.
2. Fill with super glue.
3. Let absorb & harden.
4. Sand smooth.
5. Polish.

The Sirupati is an underestimated model in my opinion. You can do a lot of work with a siru. All kinds of light to medium duty work, and a little bit of heavy work if you are careful. They are also very well balanced and fast swinging. You can't beat the price on that one. If you get it, let us know what you think.

Thank you for the repair tips Eric. I will try that. I couldn't decide on a sirupati or a BAS. So.... I got both hehe. The BAS is by Ram Kumar as well. It has a 7/16" spine. It is a beast! I love the lines on the sirupati too...wiked n elegant.

Many thanks to Ms. Yangdu and HI for the easy shopping and nice, quality items.

Please post some pictures when you get it! I also got a Sirupate on order, but it might take some time to come through due to the corona situation..

I think the Sirupate is a very nice choice for more of a utility kind of Khukuri.

I have a feeling you are going to love them both. That BAS just might become your new favorite go to workhorse blade! Ram Kumar made most of my favorite knives.
