Is there the slightest possibility of this diplomat getting another? More than the Ang Kholas, I am seriously interested in buying a Sirupati.

Inder, if you want one, now is a good time.

Get Yangdu's (Bill Martino's wife) contact details from the HI site and if they have what you want, you should have it in a week's time.

If you are refering to Pran's khukuris, that was at my place.

I must have been in a good mood. Normally, that sort of carelessness would have earned you a katoos. :mrgreen:

Katoos-I hope that means a smack on the head!

Sure does. What else does it mean?

Anyway, herewith a few pics of the HI British Army Service Khukuri and a Mizoram Bowie.

Used the bowie for the first time this morning to trim a few branches and it sliced through them effortlessly. However, the handle isn't thick enough for me and the knife tends to turn in the hand. If you are getting one made to order, please make sure it has a clean spine rather than those silly teeth. I would get rid of those 'blood grooves' as well.

Mack The Knife

P.S.: The HI khukuris come with a mirror finish but I got rid of that a few years back. Nice to have it if the knife is only for display but otherwise you are going to have a devil of a time putting that polish back after you have removed the sap marks or scratches.
