One note, Kris Cutlery's Shandigan Style barong, in historic cases, is considered a rarity. They are very very rare, and only pop up on occaision. Ive seen 5 pop up in 5 years.

the khuk is not alone in its class. It has the company of knives of the past and present. Who knows what the futire will hold?

Federico,

What is the kami mark on that one?

Bill, I thought we were going to keep this one secret. If mad duck finds out this what Durba has been working on all along... the bats will be everywhere.

shhhh...I hear the caves have ears.

 

[Ferrous Wheel]

heehee! Does that come in different colors? I heard it was tough to get the refraction right so that you could get the proper bend. Glad to see that the Kamis figured it out! They are strong in the ways of the force...

So far Ive only heard of these three models, but I hear one kami is thinking of making an improvement, and soon we shall see the plaid light saber

khuk type blades, replicas from a medieval surgeon's kit:

The surgeon's kit is scary. I guess fine surgery was out, and it was just a matter of choping off the damaged parts and hoping for the best.

Here are a few more from Blackjack Knives.

was probably on par with revolutionary war surgery, without the drugs. or alcohol. The surgeon probly tried to leave a presentable corpse, anyway.

Good stuff and thanks.

Al Massey sure knows his stuff. I've got the HI version of this wonderful and devastating sword. It chops thru 3" diameter rawhide rolls with little guidance or power, other than what gravity is wont to impart...
