Thought I'd start a new inventory thread in this forum. That way, we'll be able to see who has what and know who to email for answers to questions about specific models. Like the original thread, only one post per forumite. As you acquire more khuks you can edit your post to include them. Any questions or comments should be emailed.

I'll start with myself:

1. Shop 1 16.5" WWII, wooden handle.
2. 18" WWII by Sanu, carved and engraved.
3. 21.5" GRS, by Kami With No Name.
4. 18" AK by Durba, wooden handle.
5. Falcata by Sanu.
6. 12" AK by Sanu, horn handle.

12" Sirupati, grey horn handle (a sign that you've been collecting khukuris: when you refer to a 12" OAL knife as "that cute little thing.")
15" Ang Khola, horn handle
18" WWII, wooden handle
20" Sirupati, horn handle
30" Kobra, horn handle
 
I am just beginning but here is what I have so far:

BAS by Kumar
Steel mounted Kumar karda
Kages Katne
Future purchases in no particular order:
Tarwar
Garud AK
18" WWII
16.5" WWII
15" AK
 
25" Sirupati -unknown very nicely done
25" Kobra Bura Very quick next to the bed
36" Katana Sanu beautiful blade well balanced and very quick
Future:
30" Tarwar
I like the quick ones in case you couldn't tell.....

Yvsa,

OH MY GOD! John Powell watch out

Man now I really have a Khukuri inferiority complex! Weird question, how much do you think your collection weighs? How many leaf springs were reincarnated? Ok, I think I need some meds....
