Guys,
Posted twice this much back in February, and now starting a new thread with what's left. If price has changed ignore prices on the Photobucket links; any updated prices are in this thread:
SOLD 1) 13" 13 oz. HI Balance by Sher; full polish, not satin villager, and a perfect length to weight ratio of 13/13. Cow hoof cho:
$85 + $10 Ship & Insure --> Now $75 + $10 Ship & Insure

Pictures of it are also visible in the batch at:

2) NKH Ang Khola, brass handle. 16" OAL and 29 oz. Very clean and handles nicely. Generous length brass handle, standard bolster, and beautifully fullered unused blade. Nice no lace frog on a black buffalo hide scabbard. 16" is the perfect portable khukuri which is why I paired it with the more practical sheath. (Check out the note on the pics as this comes with an optional new "Kami fundraiser" sheath if you want it at $5 off new price):
$125 + $15 Ship & Insure (+ $15 additional if you want extra new leather sheath as shown)

3) 18" 23 oz. Pratap Malla. I have several Malla's (including the first {of 1 of 2} 25" Malla made), and have never seen another of these. If you have a Hanuman and Garud AK then this will round out the set nicely. Very well done red chandan handle feels great in the hand. A lot of power in this one (you HI guys know what I mean):
$165 + $15 Ship & Insure --> Now $145 + $15 Ship & Insure

SOLD 4) 17" 26 oz. Hill Walnut M-43 by Kumar. A classic M-43 by Kumar in hard to find Hill Walnut. Beautiful fast-handling knife. This was listed as "sold" immediately back on 2/21 but the deal didn't go through; ignore the Antler M-43 in the gallery, as that one is sold:
$165 + $15 Ship & Insure
http://photobucket.com/M43s
5) 15" 20 ounce Silver Mounted AK by Kumar, from 2004. In later years several similar knives were sold with _silver metal_, but they are not silver mounted. This is real silver on the bolster and buttcap and will tarnish and costs accordingly. This one has a beautifully hand-carved satisal (Nepali oak) handle:
$185 + $15 Ship & Insure --> Now $175 + $15 Ship & Insure (This is what I paid 8 years ago).

WITHDRAWN; {Can't do it; it's just too bad-ass to sell!
} 6) 20" 48 oz. Samsher by Murali. I love Samshers but can't justify more of them. This is a nearly perfect specimen with traditional bolster and red chandan handle, and is a heavy classic leaf-bladed chopper:
$245 + $15 Ship & Insure --> Now $225 + $15 Ship & Insure (Paid $225 in Jan. 2011).

7) 22.5" 30 oz. Bag Bhairab by Sher, with Hill Walnut handle. This thing kicks ass, and I'm amazed it's still here; the ultimate zombie decapitator. I've owned 4 of these, and this is only being let go under protest (with just one slightly heavier in reserve). Traditional bolster, and chiruwa handle helps balance the longer blade, and the scarce hill walnut handle only adds to the package. This sale is a win-win for me, because if the worst happens I get to keep it. Perfectly made and balanced, and an HI you'll never see again:
$295 + $20 Ship & Insure --> Now $275 + $20 Ship & Insure
http://photobucket.com/Bag_Bhairab
SOLD 8) 27.5" perfect 2 lb. Manjushri Sword by Sher, in carved horn, the second horn made and one of the last. The first was tested on cinder block and other materials to really see how tough these knives were, but this one has been a safe queen; great feeling handle and balance has to be felt to be appreciated:
$295 + $20 Ship & Insure --> Now $275 + $20 Ship & Insure
http://photobucket.com/Manjushri
9) 23" 33 oz. Uddha Sword by Bura. I'm down to two but the other is the first scrimmed elk antler handle so I have to give this up. Gorgeous flame chandan handle model by Master Kami Bura, so I don't feel badly at all about the pricing on this. This is a great example of a classic middle eastern sword design, and I don't think HI has made any for quite a while:
$295 + $20 Ship & Insure --> Now $280 + $20 Ship & Insure
http://photobucket.com/Uddha
SOLD 10) 26.5" 73 oz. Father (Monster) CAK by Sher. In 2004 Uncle Bill offered a half-dozen of these for sale one afternoon, and I never saw any again. Truly magnificent Chiruwa AK; great blade for the guy who wants the largest semi-manageable CAK out there. This is really a ceremonial head-lopper but is a great example of HI work to use occasionally and admire; probably not an EDC blade
:
$325 + $20 Ship & Insure --> Now $295 + $20 Ship & Insure (Will be at least $35 to ship & insure.)

SOLD 11) 27" 60 oz. Royal Banspati by Royal Kami Bura, circa 1999. Double-dragon on right side, tiger, yak, elephant, owl, pheasant + more left, fully engraved brass handle, full tang presentation khukuri; black leather scabbard w/ heavy brass chape and HI superfrog. There are days and days of work in each one of these. Do a search on the HI forum for "Royal Banspati" and read what Uncle Bill and the old forumites had to say about this knife:
$325 + $20 Ship & Insure --> Now $295 + $20 Ship & Insure
http://photobucket.com/Royal_Banspati
SOLD 12) 39" 49 oz. Two-handed Everest Katana by Bura, with wonderful carved buffalo horn handle. Brass fittings, habaki bolster, and red buffalo hide scabbard. Full chiruwa tang and engraved tsuba; I have never seen another like it, and Bura isn't making any more knives:
$345 + $20 Ship & Insure --> Now $310 + $20 Ship & Insure

1) Posted prices include USPS Priority Mail shipping insured with tracking to anywhere in the CONUS. I'll ship any of the regular knives to OCONUS customers I've dealt with before (shipping method & insurance at their expense & option) otherwise I'd prefer not to deal with International hassles.
2) PayPal is OK and I'll pay the fees, but you must have a confirmed address. PP addy is n-l-morris@sbcglobal.net.
3) Shipping discounts available on multiples.
4) The first "I'll take it" here gets the knife. PM's and email are less sure. (NOTE: If you post that you'll take it then to me that means, A) you'll take it, and B) that you have the money to pay for it now. I know, call me crazy...!
)
Not really interested in trades right now. Please let me know of any questions, and thanks for looking!
