>>>>> you are sicker than Wal<<<<<
Why thank you for the compliment Jim. I have worked hard all these years and it seems to have paid off
A son always hopes to surpass his father
And just for your information, I have an 18" Bura Sirupati that I love. Just about perfect for me. The 25" Kobra is also a wonderful thing of beauty...

Now this last post of Tsimi's just breaks my heart!!!!
I had Really Great Hope that somehow underneath all the discussion about whether Tsimi has HIKV or in fact that Tsimi may be in fact a Really Great "Researcher" and that somehow we would learn the "Truth."
But this post proves to me that despite all of Tsimi's claims to be said "Researcher" that he really does have Something, perhaps not HIKV but Something else entirely different, and Is Not said "Researcher"
either!!!!
Any "True Researcher" is impartial in his opinions and "findings." And Tsimi just blew that when he said what he did in his quoted post above.
All of us with True HIKV know that each and every H.I.Khukuri has a certain "niche" it fills perfectly no matter the khukuri's size!!!! And when Tsimi said this it really proves without a doubt that something is seriously flawed with his thinking, but I guess we knew that aready.
"18"& s5" TOO BIG, USELESS!! 16.5 & 15" "PERFECT!!ANYTHING MORE OR LESS IS "USELESS!R us"
So now is the question still the same?
Does Tsimi really have HIKV or Something entirely new?
But I'm really glad that Tsimi has finally proven by his own word's that he Is Not the "Researcher" he claimed to be!!!!

Jim has really, really gone off the deep end now. He claims the YCS is "too beautiful and needs to be on the wall"? You could say the same for ANY HI khuk I've ever seen, and yet we keep banging them around. And an 18-inch khuk is "too big"? I'd have figured that with all that research, Jim would have bulked up to where he could handle one. Maybe that's not Jim in those abominable snowman pix.

Seems to me that I heard one interesting tidbit that Jim was going to start a petition to make the Sher made Kagas Katne the flagship khukuri of the much publicized Research Cave(also redesignated as Area 52 
) .... all known katne are being snapped up left, right , top, bottom and center....
I keep thinking that somehow that caped un-rodent V.G. is somehow connected with all this so we may yet see a visit from the lavicious Lorena to this humble thread.... 
Yours in Loquacity....

Moch,
Research has made me bigger, handling the "18" is NO prob! 12" TOO SMALL( Rus it's time you SOLD Aud.& STARTED CARRYING A BAS, I'll DO MY BEST TO GET RID OF HER FOR YOU, JUST SEND HER TO ME) 16.5 is the Ideal size! Alas, everyone with those Monster K's & wimpy K's are going to try to send them all to me at the cave! I don't have room! The BAS & 16.5 WW2 & the AK are the BEST K's made(the YCS,goes on the wall,hee,NDN will go even more nuts)the rest are for "STRANGE" people!

Uncle Bill, Are these "Gentlemen" the ones that will attend your "B" Day Party? It may be advisable to have a few burly trusted individuals on hand with a arm full of "white sport coats" to distribute. It appears that indeed some other insideous ailment is spreading like wild fire. You may have to Quarentine certain individuals before releasing them to the general populace of your shindig.

NDN,
"I" beg to differ, hours ,& hours of "unbiased Research has led to these "RESULTS"!Uncle's website,proves my findings!As a matter of fact even the Gorkas back up my findings,they carry BAS'S & WHEN IT GETS DICEY SOME CARRY WW2 16.5"! As a RESEARCHER, I must be able to handle unrealistic false ideas & outlandish claims I HAVE NOW DONE THIS, MY FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES! Sorry NDN!

And the beat goes on.
Jim--the Gorkhas are pretty small. Look at the size of the handles of the kardas and chakmas on the villagers. If the Nepalese hand that can hold them is comfortable swinging a 15-inch BAS, then simply as a matter of proportion why shouldn't the hand and arm of a beefy overfed American--a relative giant--be comfortable using an 18-inch AK? Or bigger, something like the mighty Ganga Ram Special?
I got the notion from your awesome UBDOTD buying spree that your research had led you to love em all. Does your new declaration mean that from now on you're going to be more selective, moving in only on Durba-made WWIIs,BAS, and 15-inch AKs? Inquiring minds wish to know.

Uhhhh, MM you tried to talk sense to Tsimi and he's just too far gone Bud.
Like he thinks he's the only one to do any "Research."
All of us with HIKV are also "Researchers" and keep looking for the perfect H.I.Khukuri!!!!
And in my experiences they're all "perfect" some are just more perfect than others at specific tasks.
Poor Tsimi has limited himself to just a chosen few, but that's because he never actually takes one to the woods and chops something with it. I AM _Ashamed_ For Tsimi!!!!
Tsimi just cuts air and in more ways than one!!!!

Audrey is doing just fine Tsimi!!!
It was love at first sight once she and Al laid eyes on each other. I laid them down and closed the trunk lid real quick or I'd have gotten an eyeful. It was a distracting ride home with all the commotion from the trunk.
Anyway, you wanna disparage Audrey's virtue(s) you can now take it up with Big Al. He doesn't let ANYBODY, crazy researcher or not, put Audrey down. He's South African, of Boer stock ( D2 if I remember ) and part of the Bauchop clan. Al Ley-Cat.
( sorry, it's been a long day - I'll try to do better tomorrow )

NDN,
So at last, I can mark you up as a Researcher & not a false claimer of HIKV glad you came to your senses! You can't have it both ways, well maybe , it's called being "wishy,washy"! As for testing in the woods, no , none here at the cave,just have the Everglades, my testing has gone quite well thank you! Rus,handled the A when they were really hard to get! Niece piece, but I'll let my 5" kris Pacific Cut Balisong handle the A, wouldn't want to let my Durba's do it,wouldn't be fait to the A! As for Aud, she's so butt ugly the trunk is a good place for her, she's just a wimpy 12"!hee!Now to get Koz & Blues to admit there is "only" Reseach,the EVIL TRIO is beginning to crumble against Research!
