biltong came today, has light wood handle, kami marks, and a new sheath design, i think. never seen this style of sheath.

I usually download them to photobucket and then post them from here. I'm not sure I'm smart enough about it to talk you through it. I'm sure anxious to see it though.

If you want to email them to me I'll try to post them for you. I'm not a computer wizard but sometimes I get lucky.

Only fish I can find is Khadka and he doesn't work for HI?
I think biltong is suppose to smell and taste funny from what I've heard.

That sheath looks like all of mine. That's a really nice one, love the looks of it. Does it have the UB on the other side.

can anyone identify the kami?

I'm pretty sure it's Lok kami. I believe he began working for HI about a year ago, so he wouldn't be identified in any of the older sources.

 

[uluapark]

yes it does have the U.B marking on opposite side.

 

[uluapark]

poor postman, and your dogs will be barking cause postman maced em trying to get the biltong,lol...poor dogs.

 

[uluapark]

[Bawanna]

I'm pretty sure it's Lok kami.

Found it, david wins the prize today, that' is indeed Lok's mark.

It's hard to say, but it could be neem. Nice wood It finishes nicely, and all of mine has taken on a beautiful amber-ish patina over time.

Loc Kami on the right

I like the handle too. Beautiful knife. Congrats!

The Asare wood should be deeper in colour. Those with neem wood handle like Ted should be able to verify.

Lok Kami made Bilton and his trade logo mark is fish and he makes a great knife.
The handle is made of Neem wood. Thank you for sharing.
