It pains me to see you need to do this...

I know something's not OK, so my best wishes for getting things worked out.
 
Kinda stings me, too, and some of the "plainer" ones sting as much as the fancy. I've seen several pics of Garuds before and after I got this one, but no two exactly alike. BTW, pics of the carved UBE are on the FAQ, on the "carvings and symbols" page
 
Hold on...Hold your horses...Master Woodchuck sells his babys? :eek: :(
Outch, I have been there before.

Everyone...Wal knows khukris and wood...take them if you can!
 
Weekends are slow but they'll all go. Wal has put a lot of TLC into these and they are actually better than new. Good knives at good prices always go.
 
Dayum!!!! :(

Dayumed straight. I got the Malla that Walosi worked on and it's absolutely stunning. There should be enough of us here that can help our Bro & Uncle out methinks.:)
 
:( :( :( just about covers it. That one was a special order, and the artistry shown by Sanu and Bhimsen more than justified the price. In addition, the symbols on the scabbard said something to me about Nepal, and the folk at BirGorkha. I'm a bit idealistic, but receiving a scabbard carved with Buddhist symbols for blessings and long life, with a Hindu demon added on for protection, showed me something that I took to be a glimpse of the old Nepal, before outside influences corrupted the situation to the point where they are killing one another on a war footing rather than the personal and tribal squabbles before. Or, maybe I'm just getting old.

Bill Gates RIDES AGAIN, but his mail doesn't go through. Glad that one didn't get more messed up than what I started with :eek:

texalp, you will have mail shortly....probably....maybe :confused:
 
...song, somewhere, titled "Smilin' with Tears in My Eyes". There is also an old, old joke about the vaquero who left the cantina very early one morning, and was having trouble keeping his foot in the stirrup to mount up. After several bad falls, he knelt and prayed to every saint he knew for help, and on the next try, vaulted clean over the horse, onto the ground on the other side. As he pulled himself up on the hitchrail, he muttered "Not all at once, you crazy bunch of saints". Not elegant, but somewhat appropriate.

Thank You, Gentlemen, One and All.
 
There is no disgrace in falling down but there is in not getting back up again. Wal, I have the feeling that these khukuris will be replaced with bigger and better things before it's all said and done.
