Here's a 10/10 12 inch, 11 ounce Ang Khola made and marked by old faithful, Kesar. The knife shows why we call Kesar "Old faithful." Great fit, good hardening, magic stone mirror finish. But minor though they are, the following two problems put this rig into the blem box.

There's a superglue fix very small chip in the handle, left side at the buttcap. The scabbard has a very narrow tear on the backside -- about a half inch. The rig can stay as is and last for 100 years or you can fix up the cosmetics in about ten minutes and it will still last 100 years.

Because of these two very minor flaws we will discount this rig $35 and deliver it to your door for $65. Big savings on little knife.

Call or email if interested.

No speed dial just plain dumb luck. Thank you again Mr. Martino for this wonderful deal. Ive been drooling over HI khukris for a while and now the stars have finally lined up for me to actually own one.
 
No worries from me. Like I said before was shear dumb luck. Must have been some minor miracle that I just happened to have the correct amount right when you posted the deal. Normally Im quite cash poor from saving up for my hobbies, just happened to have a little extra after purchasing a few kris. Probably wont happen for some time, unless there's any truth to that whole HIKV

And the HIKV thing is true and Not like our Infamous "Researcher" says.

I love the Keris as well, but the H.I.Khukuris can be used for their primary purpose while it would be most...... Well let's just say that the Keris aren't used much for their primary purpose here in the states, as steak knives are most generally used for stabbing someone.

Just wait til you get it in your hat little hands. Then you will know. If you are into Kris/Keris, you might not admit it, but you probably feel the spirit imparted at the forge. Same with HI products. The 12" AK is just the cutest, friendliest thing, just like a little St. Bernard pup. That misses it's family. You'll end up with plenty of company for it.

Hi I would like to thank Uncle Bill for this wonderful Khukri that arrived yesterday. It is truly marvelous and I can see now why everyone here love HI khukri's. I must admit that I cannot detect the flaws that are in this khukri, and am thoroughly delighted by its conditon. Once again thank you Uncle Bill for this magnificent khukri.

Sincerely
Federico

Nope, but welcome to the Cantina, Federico. Enjoy the ambience where almost everything goes...from the ridiculous to the cerebral...

Good choice for your first HI khukuri...make sure you read the Khukuri Respect and Safety thread...and have fun.
