3 winners for 9/25 -- Pix and deals.

Thanks, Munk, for very kind words. I'm searching for a replacement but it's hard to find a young kid with a future who is willing to work for the wages I do with no perks. I'm subsidized by pensions, medicare, VA hospital, etc. and the kid won't be.
 
It sort of works... My index finger ends up past the bolster, behind the cho. It's a secure grip but if my hand slides past the cho there may be an injury. Probably only an abrasion with my sharpening skills though.

I know how you feel Bruise, but I really think that these blades were made for chopping and not stabbing, and that if that's what you do I doubt your hand will slide in that direction. That said it still is a slightly scary feeling to "choke up" that far on a knife handle!
 
Must resist must resist ensuing joke/pun/craziness....cant stop must make real bad joke/pun/craziness....you gotta be careful and dont Choke the Cho to often...:rolleyes: :eek: :confused: :barf:

"The khukuri handle seems to me to be designed so that the butt cap will slide past the heel of your hand when held properly. It's a foriegn concept to us in the western world"--Yvsa

I'm with Yvsa on this kind of "side" grip. I call it the sword grip, because essentially that is what it is. There are certain ways to hold european swords that involve this same grip. If you understand the grip, then all the bulky looking pommels and buttcaps on blades suddenly make sense. Moost viking swords, for example, have a small grip with a huge flat pommel or crossbar that feels terrible if you hold it like a baseball bat. If you hold it correctly, the pommel actually stabilises the hand for accurate and forceful swinging. The pommel IS the guide.

my .02 pence, good sirs.

What's a "Moost Viking?"
Is that some kind of animal that was still around at the beginnings of the Vikings when men and animals could still talk with one another, or just a slip of the finger?

Speaking of "fingers" you PUT THAT ONE DOWN RIGHT NOW!!!!:D
 
I think he means Maoist Viking Swords. These were a little known group of pirates who looted and pillaged the coasts of China in the 50's.

:rolleyes: ;) :footinmou
 
For your information, Sir...


Squirrel and Moost lived in Frostbite Falls, MN, were the unlikely heros of dastardly plots by Boris Badernof and Natasha which they foiled through cunning and skill.

The reason for the moost becoming extinct.:)

Heehee! I should've expected as much from youse guys! sadly, it was all a slip of the keys, this silly laptop keyboard bites.

So you can all go back to eating your lutefisk, knowing full well that human error is alive and kicking.


A side note to this side note: Ever notice that everyone in the forums writes in english? My point is this: on Bladeforums, there are no accents! I can talk to an Auzzie or a New Yawkah and not know the diff! I'm positive that Sharri and Eik probably have some serious accents, but here we all speak pretty much the same sterile english.

Just an interesting note.

Mee? Wot aksent? Do Aye 'ave eeny aksent? ;)

Recently a British told me I've got a strong American accent. Dunno if it was his version of a compliment, or not. Too much movies, I guess.
 
Kostya Tzu (a professional boxer) has an interesting accent. He's a Russian who immigrated to Austrailia.
 
I have a pretty nasty accent when I try to speak Nepali -- accent on nasty so to speak. Remember Sauni and the Nepali fry bread (puri).
 
Bill, why do you want a young man with a future to take the HI sales? Why not an older man with a space in his life for fun and modest profit?
