All beauties, eh?

I realized now that I put the mystery knife in the wrong spot "height-wise". It just feels smaller, so I stuck it there intuitively...

A few of you are just a wee bit too fast on the reply button....

 

[Mark Nelson]

I think I am tearing up here. That is a beautiful sight!

 

[Josh Feltman]

Nice family, Dan. Is the handle on that siru a wood/bone combo?

I'm getting slow.

Was that the 17" Kothimoda that was offered a couple of weeks ago on the other forum?

 

[Daniel Koster]

The mystery khuk is one-fourth(+/-) bone. I'll have to take a few more pics to explain, but basically one side is bone the other wood and it flip-flops. sorry - this doesn't make sense.

I think the kothimoda is just like the ones that were sold here a week or two ago.

Both of these are very nice and dear to my heart.

That's because of the pack of wolves waiting for blems.

 

[Sylvrfalcn]

Got any picks with 'em unsheathed Dan (no hidden agendas here, I just really, really, want a better look at that 14" BDC/New Model )

I'll snap a pic when I got home this evening


I'd ask the wife to do it right now but it makes her nervous just watching me do it...

And not "nervous - afraid" but "nervous" - as in, "One false move, and I'll sell the whole lot of 'em"

Men live longer when guided by a woman's conservative caution. 99.999% of all dangerous activities were invented by us men.

By the way, the power is out at my place and has been for a day already.

Well...I guess I should clarify. Only "half" of the power is out. Make sense to anybody?

In other words, the Fridge is working, but the TV is not. The living room lights are out, but the bedroom light is fine. This same thing happened about 2 weeks ago and blow out my stereo, computer and some power tools.

I'm in the process of filing a claim as we speak...

 

[hoghead]

Dan, check your email.

 

[Bill Martino]

Nice!

 

[ddean]

I see you have the entire set of Nepalese 'nesting' khukuris.




(Like the Russian nesting dolls.)

 

[Aardvark]

I especially like the sheath on the mystery khuk.

 

[Daniel Koster]

Ok, Sarge. Got your pics...as promised.

14" BDC

10" & 14" BDC's

Now for a series of in-the-hand pics.

10" BDC

12.5" Pen Knife

14" BDC

I have to choke up a bit on the 10" BDC - or use a 3-finger grip.

The Pen Knife fits well, but my hand overlaps the bolster - which is ok with me.

The 14" BDC fits just fine, Papa Bear...

It's amazing in every way. You gotta get one.
Any questions, Sarge?

 

[Semper Fi]

Wow! That 25" AK is a monster! What does it weigh?

BTW, nice pics.
