Here are some pictures of an early (18thc) kukri :

I let you describe them John Powell.

Send the handle. You can keep the blade.

I am sure Amu Bill prefers Vanessa! Who cares about steel as long as she is around!

that raindrop pattern welded blade is magnificent! Nice chiselling, too. Handle looks quite worn...

I like the rug, too.

John Powell · Dec 10, 2002

Bill, the rug is for sale along with a lot of inexpensive kukris. The one shown here isn't in the inexpensive bracket, but the rug might be great for the dust bunnies...

Mr Powell, you never cease to amaze. That is a piece of living art indeed.

Bill Martino · Dec 11, 2002

Send the rug and the handle.

John Powell · Dec 11, 2002

Bill,
Do want the hairball my cat left on the rug too? If you take everything, I may even throw in that mediocre blade.

Send a check for 4 or 5 grand and we've got a deal

Bill Martino · Dec 11, 2002

Check is in the mail.

John Powell · Dec 11, 2002

So is the hairball...

Rod Allen · Dec 11, 2002

JP seeing as how Bill has sent you $4950.00 For the rug,hairball and handle I have sent you a check for 50 for the blade (just so you dont lose on this one) Rod

Bill Martino · Dec 12, 2002

John is so rich he can afford to lose once in awhile.

John Powell · Dec 12, 2002

Rod, 50 what?

Never mind, since I'm such a great guy and so bloody wealthy, I glued the blade back to the grip. The plastic had broken so I did the repair free of charge.

Bill, your check hasn't arrived yet.
