April 30th is getting closer. What too bring?

[Yvsa]

I was thinking that since the get together at Phoenix is getting closer it might be time to start decideing which khukuris I should bring with me.
Space and weight is somewhat limited so instead of just bringing a mish mash of khuks I thought I would ask what everyone that's going too be there would like too see. Providing I have it of course.
Of course I will bring the 17" Foxy Folly Prototype and the original that started it all with the Sisco scabbard.
I have a couple of the antique Atlanta Cutlery khuks if anyone wants too get an idea of what they're like while there are still some left?

Open to all suggestions so lets hear 'em, about which khuks too bring that is.

Hey Yvsa! I'm still trying to figure out if I can make it. I'd like to drive down as I could bring along a lot of my khuks and hate the airline hassle. MapQuest says that from here to AZ (Mesa, right?) it is about 700 miles and will take around 10 hours.

How far is it for you? Do we know who's all coming? If I come I figured on bringing just a cross section of my more interesting acquisitions, plus some of my Randalls and fixed blade fighters, some Bowies and a bag of folders. 3 or 4 swords maybe. (Luckily I have a big trunk! (-

I have to go to Southern California the 3rd week in June, so the question is how much time I can get off for this, if any, and whether I am up to the drive. I would love for my son to come with me and share the driving, but he is locked into the police academy training until June.

Were I you I would bring anything you have that is no longer made by Birghorka just so we can get a look at it, and of course the new FF prototype. Any khuks you have that have had custom work done to them by you or custom sheaths, just so we can learn of all our options, would also be a plus.

Anyway, let me know what you think, and hopefully we'll get some interest going here!

Regards,

Norm

Norm it's about 1,200 some odd miles for us I think, been awhile since I actually set down and figured it. We may change our minds and spend 3 weeks instead of just a couple because of the distance.
Depends on when I can get my pain meds script filled. The Dr will mail it too me, they've done it before.

I do have a couple of rare ones that will never be made again, probably anyway.
One is the Beer Belly and the other the Hanuman Special. It's a WW II blade with a Hanuman handle. It was supposed too have been a Hanuman blade with a WW II handle. Damn kamis anyway. I think there was only five made.
I have one and Rusty has one, don't know where the others got too.

I have a Katana, a Neopolian sword, my Purple Heart SeAx, a Hanuman, a malla and a kothimoda made by the unspeakables......but it is good for letting you see just how good HI's are in comparison. Also a Kerambit and I think there's a couple more in the kids closet. Guess I better get them out and polish them up before y'all get here. Actually I think the kid better polish them up.....most of them are hers

Also on this line, do we want to refine the agenda for times and such? Let me know your thoughts. Should be a fun day.
