I was just curious, does anyone have a style or design that they would love to see the Kamis make? Minor variations on a current model? A drastic new idea? Something in between? I'd like to hear what some people would like to see...
 
My dream khukuri is already in production--dui chirra. However, I wouldn't mind seeing an HI version of that one Afghan khuk John Powell posted a little while back, the wicked one with the radical curvature.

Me, I'd love to see the YCS made again. Or to get my hands on one by Sanu... I can only dream.
 
The bottom one in this picture is the one I was referring to earlier:

I'd like to see some kuks with guards, esp. the lighter, more overtly weapon type kukuris.

I'd also like to see a short sword, similar to the katana, but shorter: maybe a 16" blade, and an 8" handle that would work for one or both hands. I think some who fancy themselves tactical would spring for one, and those of us who just like neat, useable blades would get one, too. :)

Frankly, I'm most interested right now to see the results of the kami-free-for-all Bill turned loose the other day...:eek: :eek:


Spectre - do a search on Patang...:D
 
Thats EXACTLY what got me thinking Dan......

I think that old Fox Folly design is really nice...

Any predictions of what the Kamis will do?

I can see Bura doing a Talwar

Kumar might do a Legolas type knife

Sher would make a nice heavy Kopesh (spelling?)
 
DIJ, if I recall correctly, they did a limited run of that style (Sherpa?) khukuri a few years ago. They weighed in at approximately 2 1/2 lbs each.
 
I'd like to see the YCS again.
A true long leaf would be nice too. And there's always room for hanshee :)
Especially with slimmer blades.
 
a full tang burk special would be mighty cool...

ive still got about 7 khukuries in the 20" (chitlangi, gelbu etc) range to buy, but my bank account has been tapped out and college is in full swing to help get back on an insurance policy... i could very, very easily spend 700$ on the website in 50 seconds to round out my collection...
 
For months I kept saying "25" Chitlangi" like a mantra to anyone who would listen, and sure as shootin' one or two showed up as UBBB a couple of weeks ago. First I have seen, but now I KNOW they can be done.

One will be mine...! :D
 
Does anyone have a pic of this legendary YCS? Searching yields no pics, but lots of references.....

If you like Chitlangi then you have to get one of these if you can. I got the horn handle by Kumar and it is stunning(from the deals that you talked about). I am not one to get a Khurk that I would not be willing to use but this one is a work of art. It begs to be used but it is so nice that for once I am very reluctant to scratch up the magic stone finish. Feels great in my hand despite it's size and does not handle like a 40 oz khurk. I am hoping that some more come in so that I can get a user. I had more of less told myself that I was out of the khurk market for a while and I felt bad about ordering this one until I got it. After holding it I would have kicked myself if I had not gotten one. Sorry you missed it, hope that you are able to pick one up in the future. I had no idea that they made them that size but hope that it was not a one time thing. This just about is my dream khurk. I might make it a bit wider but I am in no way complaining. Thank everyone.

17"-18" Foxy Folly! I have been lusting for one ever since I got my two FF's!
Have the weight around 28 ounces and it would be good to go for about anything. If I had one of those I'd probably sell off most of what's left of my collection which still isn't bad.;)
 
I'll email you a few pix of the old Sanu YCS I have...it has the super-sweet silver fittings, non chiruwa.
