Here is an older 18 inch, 2 pound WWII model with no kami marking. Everything about this knife is very good to excellent except for two items. 1) The handle has a small crack near the bolster -- super glue fix. And, 2) the scabbard is not made of leather but some kind of nylon or other material that I can't identify. Good karda and chakma.

Save $50 off regular and we will deliver this rig to your door for $95.

Uncle Bill, I think the sheath my slow down the sale a little bit. I think people are getting used to the sarki with no name.

Matthew, I considered that too, but my guess is that learning of Jim's death has most all of us off our feed.
 
Koz,
I have sinned! Called Uncle, he was concerned that this one wouldn't go!So to save the HI tradition of selling every K,I sinned & bought it!It was for the "good" of HI!Yes,I told Vince, he was laughing so hard he couldn't speak,I just put the phone down.

HIKV will rear its khukuri seeking head and then...we are doomed!

Koz,
As i explained to Tom & Vince, HIKV doesn't start until one purchases more than 6 K's! Therefore I'm STILL ok.Don't I get a "thanks" for saving the HI tradition of selling every K.Rusty, Blues,Brian,BROKEN arrow & you weren't there, just me! But I get no respect!At least Blues is giving me some slack!Oh well!
jim
 
Thank you for defending the honor of HI, Jim (who has now, what 5 k's? But doesn't have HIKV)

Tom
(who supposedly has HIKV but has only three k's at this point...)
 
TOM,
Two are gone, due to my extensive and exhausting reserch it takes "7" to begin the HIKV process!I only have 3!BEsides after being around it I have built up an immunity!
Ask BILL!
JIM
 
Bill,

Bill,
NEW MANTRA:no,no,no,no,no,I don't need it!
Koz,Thank you , even if you "really" don't mean it! It was really an effort to sacrifice!Someone has to do it!The tradition is intact!

Bill,
Got it! Somebody(Rus) has to sit down & explain to Bill what a Blim is! You see, Bill,a crack is something, "SOMETHING VISABLE"!I had to hunt for the crack in the handle, that makes this a blim!Finally found it(I think)!It appears to be a "very" small surface crack,not worth a dab of super glue!
Just want to let Formites know a "Bill's Blim" is not an inferior K!!This 2LB.WW2 is really nice, handle is large & fits. Koz, Brian,two more K's & I'm A BORDERLINE HIKV PATIENT!Cheer up guys, I'll never get there.
Watch my CONTROL. jim
