In no particular order -

1. 20" village sirupati
2. 28" 'machaera' (kinda like a heavily-fullered salyan; really fine carved hilt)
3. 20" village heavyweight Thing
4. 25" sirupati; very heavy; Kumar
5. 20" chiruwa sirupati; Kumar
6. 30" Kobra; modified
7. 16" BAS
8. 25" Kobra (best khukuri ever, except possibly for - )
9. 24" blade only Kobra, now fitted with 'tsuba' and heavy disk pommel, wire-wrapped grips &c

(In passing; 2, 4, 5 and 6 are for sale if anyone's looking for those models; probably of interest to UK/European forumites only, 'cos of shipping. They're all really nice blades, but when a person owns 1 and 8, somehow nothing else ever gets used...)

15" AK (horn handle)
20" Sirupati (horn)
Forward Curve w/ white scabbard and stars and diamonds engraved on blade (Horn)
"Friendship" Special (wood)
Snow Leopard I- Handle was supposed to carved but wasn't; blade supposed to engraved and was. (wood)
Snow Leopard II - carved wood handle

Enroute: Ganesh-Hanuman special, plain blade

To me, the most striking improvements in the HI product over the last few years are the scabbards. The leather quality and fit are much better, to say nothing of the super frog (Insert picture of crime-fighting caped amphibian here).

Rght now, all I've got is a Gelbu Special (maker unknown) and a Bura 25" Kobra. I think Tom Holt was right, the 25" Kobra is the cure for HIKV!
