Edited to add: You have NO IDEA how tempted I was to post a picture of a Craftsman socket set here.

Those tools look really well finished. Beautiful wood. What's the leather thing?

That's the pouch for the 3/4" drive.

Either that or it's the bag for the tools.

What is it really, Bruise? Someone said to carry tinder?

It's not a pouch. Open on both ends.

Tobacco? Looks like it would hold a plug of Red Man.

WOW! What a great response to a goofy question!

I didn't realize the Hanuman came wtih atool kit.

When I first saw it...there was a bunch of symbolism that hit me...
Hanuman was born as a Great Ape. He was a demon killer and servant of God.

At some point these blades become more than a tool. After reading a lot of posts that say,"...It just looks cool..." I began to understand a separate aspect to Khukuris. Maybe I'll write about it someday. My teachers , along time ago, called it the healing blade.We all feel a bit more complete when we have the right blade at our sides. There is a rightness about it that defies words.

Demon killers and servants of God isn't such a bad deal!

Looking out for a good UBBB first Khukuri!

In the Lord of the Rings series, some of those Orc guys bore the "White hand of Hanuman." At least that's what I heard them say. I ain't hearin' too good though.
