I LIKE that:thumbup: Interesting to see knives from East Europe. But everywhere is good:D

My thanks to Christian for starting this thread.
 
Great thread. There are knives here that I've never seen and may have never seen otherwise. Some very cool looking knives. Thanks!
 
I pulled out a couple of my khukuris so I could finally take some pics. Here are a couple of HIs from Nepal.

Those Ohta knives show a lot of desirable looking bark/gnarled stag:thumbup:

Some nice choppers Christian:D

(Note: beer was traditionally bottled with corks - bottle caps are a newfangled invention).

Not what you think of when someone says "Chinese folder", but very traditional:

Variously described as a fisherman's or a horseman's knife.

Sorry, Bosse. It's properly labeled in my photo albums but I was probably typing faster than I was thinking that day. :p
 
I wanted to add one. This one is my favorite and is the epitome of what a khukuri should be.
