Biltons

Biltons arrived Saturday, Dec. 28th. I unrolled the packing(Nepalese newspaper) & left it at work on the main desk in the control room, like I had been reading it. Got some good laughs out of midnight & day shift thinking somebody had left them a paper to read!!!! As usual, these knives are the HI quality we expected. ChairWoman of the Board thinks these are one of the three best sizes offer: 1) 12" Sirupati, 2) 16" Sirupati & 3) Bilton. Happy New Year Uncle Bill & Company!!
 
Hey Uncle Bill!

I've been away from the forums for a few days what with work and the holidays but just noticed this thread about Biltons shipping.

I sent payment in early October and asked for a horn handled one from the HI Kamis.

Should I be expecting to find one from this batch in my mail box in the next few days or... am I still waiting for a real Bilton from the HI Kamis?
 
I think my head is spinning now... "real" Bilton, horn, wood, OAL...

Maybe somebody needs to start a "Post pics of your Bilton" thread...
 
Pen:

When I sent Uncle Bill my check for a Bilton back in October, I expressed a preference for an HI made Bilton (with a horn handle).

Uncle says this batch is not made by BirGorkha so...I don't consider them "real" in a metaphorical way.

Hence my comment and question to Uncle Bill. Perhaps I should have asked the question more directly:

Is another batch of Bilton's coming from BirGorkha and am I on that list or...is one in the mail to me from this batch?
 
I got my bilton 'mini-khuk' and I love it. Its really good quality, and looks like a mini ang khola or maybe mini-villager but with mirror polish. Would make an awesome gift, or a unique letter opener/utility knife.
Now I wish I had gotten more than one.
 
The most disheartening words on this forum...

All Gone!

I want a Bilton (a couple actually) :)
