THIS FALCATA KNIFE AND SCABBARD ARE ABSOLUTELY A COLLECTOR'S DREAM ---THEY ARE SO UNUSUAL AS ONE CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES.

The overall length is 27 3/8", weight 39 oz., 3/8" spine with a 2 3/8" wide blade. The handle is made of satisal wood. The scabbard is made of matching wood with beautiful hand carved engravings front and back. On the front are Ganesh and Shiva ji and on the back a scroll pattern. Excellent work by master Kami.

TODAY'S PRICE
$375.00 *SOLD*


Email to order.:eek:

Hey, Jake? It finally happened.

Mike?

I think Bruise is still buying body parts. Might try an email.

Nice purchase. Congratulations.
 
not any real solace to anyone losing a head, but if one did to that blade, I think you'd have the right to say it was a elegant death, a Kipling end of service.

Congrat, Mike:D Now I need to come up with a way to get my mits on one. One day....

If you get a chance, please post pictures after you receive the Falcata & scabbard. I am especially interested in seeing the engraving on the reverse side of the scabbard. Thanks.

Good for you Mike! :thumbup: Great blade for a great guy. That's one I still hope to get someday...


Norm
 
Wow!! Haven't seen one of these for sale in quite a while. Very cool!! Congrats to the lucky owner. :)

Thanks, guys.

I took a quick look at the HI site, saw "Falcata" number of views "1".

Hit into it, and at the botom it said, "Ad Astra, Yangdu" so I figured I had a chance...

Didn't have an email ready (!) as I've semi-retired my fin.... although I DID get a 14" neem BDC and trisul this year. Mostly using recreational funds to buy cheap rifles :eek: even more fun.

Cust & pasted the DotD into the email, and then I saw "eswartz." Now, Eric there has been building a nice collection lately- everyone has to admit that dragon-carved engraved YCS of his was an awesome snag. The sharks were gathering.

I thought about it, and since I believe karmaically, you only get the ones you're supposed to have, hit "send."

Long time ago, I wanted one of each of the HI's I liked.... all the new models made that pretty near impossible (ask Norm!). The falcatta was the rare crown jewel. Less than 10, I think. Nasty, Ferrous, Seth, John? Heber? I forget. And a beauty recently, maybe Sogguy or somebody snagged it.

However I am content with some few recent events. I'll post about it soon- it's a nice human story and guess what? Almost all the characters in here play a part in it.

I have a lot to be thankful for, least of all this beautiful sword. I was telling somebody today about our rollover accident (Ford Explorer, 4.5x@73mph). I'm glad to be alive. Bonus time in this game- an extra life or two- is especially sweet, and should be celebrated.


Many thanks, Mike
 
Just yesterday I was looking at my starter collection, thinking "of all the HI knives I've seen, those are the three I wanted to have. That's it. I am content...except...maybe...naw, I'll never see a Falcata again."

Who woulda guessed, the very next day.

Urg.

What a treasure!

Congrats you lucky fella you!
