3 Kothimodas

chetchat · Jul 13, 2003

Hi Folks, the time has come that I must part with my last Himalayan Imports blades. I hung on to these for as long as I could, these are among the best of the best.

The top picture has two kothimmodas in it - a standard HI kothimoda (if anything this gorgeous could be called "standard"), and a Kumar Karda kothimoda originally made for the late Jim Mattis. It is truly a one-of-a-kind, as was Jim. The bottom pic is of a kothimoda katana. All three have spent their days under glass and/or in my safe, admired but not used, and are perfect.

I will post these for sale on the Exchange forum tomorrow night - Uncle Bill OKed posting a link to the ad but I wanted the folks here to get first shot. Email for specifics if you're interested, I want to sell them as a package if possible.

Please enjoy the pictures

That Kumar Karda kothimoda is calling to me. I swear I can hear it's steely little voice whispering in my ear...
