The 10" BDC is really a knife, not a khukuri. Full tang, two fullers (dui chirra) Of course, hand-made by Bura, the top kami of HI. Carbon steel, leather-covered wood sheath, wiith frog hanger.

I've taken the chappe off, but can glue it back if you like; and I've rounded the pommel on top a bit so it doesn't bite into your palm...but it has never been used. Really a lovely bit.



It would be worth your while to go to the HI forum (mfr's forums) and read up a bit.

Any questions, email me.

Make an interesting offer. I like old stuff: hunters, woodsman's knives...the problem is, I have too much as it is.

Thanks.
 
Hello Kismet
Would you be interested in any of these.


2- Second one is a never sharpened or used walnut CASE XX 1 dot 1979 12031LH HawkBill electricans knife with bail. Blades snap like new, undamaged handles, some minor storage stains on the blades that would clean right off, and some very slight pits on the screwdeiver blade.

3- Third one is a walnut CASE TESTED XX,1920-1940,Long Tail "C",electricans knife with spear blade and bail. This is an original and has been used and sharpened with very little blade loss. Maybe 95% left. Both are full length blades with great snap with undamaged handles steel pins and liners clean old knife but does have stains and pits on the blade, bail and back.

4- Fourth one is a near mint walnut Case XX Whaler 9 dot 1981 1199 SH R with sheep foot blade and bail. You can still see the"CASE XX WHALER" and a whale etched into the blade It's a rope knife with great snap full blade brass pins and liners no rust or pits no cracks or damage to the handles undamaged bail.

11- KISSING CRANE 3 BLADE STAG WHITTLER, WIDE MASTER BLADE

12- I have 2 of the Case 4 blade small congress 64052 SS purple jigged bone. These are new never used.
 
Tan and I talked, but no deal. Nice guy.

Additional info: about a 3/8ths inch spine, wood slabs, two rivets (BIG suckers).

If you haven't played with HI stuff, it is hard to describe. This 10.5 inch knife is "cute" by comparison to the big khukuris.
 
Still available. A wonderful blade, hand-made by a master kami.

Email for questions, please.

Thanks,
 
Nibbles... I get nibbles..., but still have this BDC.

Surprises me, for I would have thought it would disappear almost immediately.

One more bttt.
 
Long gone. I'm sorry, I should have posted this information sooner.

Happy Trails.
