That's a case full of sweetness right there. I have a Condor and Kabar spinoff of a kukhri and an old junker from a flea market but I'd like to get a more authentic one to try out someday.

That is enough crooked steel to make any khuk lover smile. Hopefully we see one from Dan soon... wink

That is a sweet score on the socks if they are yak fiber and funny JJ mentioned it, we are combing this years supply of all month as it breaks loose. Yak wool is very soft, warm and limited in availability. Since it is lightweight, we only get a few ounces off of each of ours every spring, so it takes a lot of yaks and a really cold winter to get a large quantity of it. They are fascinating animals to raise due to their many benefits meat, milk, wool, ride, pack, pull, efficient on feed, disease resistant, intelligent, curious, good with people and very good at deterring predators. I will say meat from the steer we just butchered is some of the sweetest, tastiest meat I have ever had, full of flavor to the point that an unseasoned red in the middle fillet tastes as if it is was cooked with a really yummy sauce similar to A-1. Here are some pics of the wool on and off a yak plus an extra of my oldest boy petting my favorite cow and lastly our 6 yr old bull.

I did score a yak sweater/hoodie. It is very hot. He started the negotiations at $50. After some bargaining, we settled on $25. It is probably the warmest outer layer I own.

YAK! Never would have guessed you raised them. Around here you see some Bison every once in a while and besides Ostrich that's about the only "Other" meat you see, and very little of that.

Cool pictures of the khukuris and I expected the yaks to be bigger. They look fun.
