Forumite Khukuri Inventories

I have 5 HI knives:
a Hanuman
BAS
3 sirupatis
CBKC
a larger version of the CBKC with silver furniture (one of the prettiest kukris I own)
Then a lot of other kukris and koras. Berk posted pix at one point showing more than 100 of them. Maybe you can repost that?

As one of wiser forumites said (was it Rusty?), "you can never have too many kukris".

I agree.

This thread is getting pretty long, so I'll just post a link to the big pic of John's collection and a few more that wouldn't fit in the big pic.
So many khukuris, so little time

I am finding that there is a lively e-mail exchange amongst forumites, discussing the merits of certain models and asking advice. Often I can't give the requested advice since I don't have experience with the model of interest. This thread is intended to let people know what kinds of khukuris you have, in case anyone wants to ask your advice or opinion about a certain model.

Ground rules for this thread
1. - for inventory posting only, debates deserve their own thread.
2. - no questions or inquiries in this thread. You can inquire via e-mail
3. - only one post per person. If you want to update the post or add more information please use the edit function. That will keep your information all in one place and easy to find.

To start things off, here's an inventory of the khukuris currently in use at my household.

1- 15" AK, horn handle, shop 1
2- BAS horn handle, shop 1
3- 20" Sirupati, engraved, horn handle, silver mounted, old style sheath and tools, shop 1 http://www.tx3.net/~howardw/Khukuris/SirupatikhukB3.jpg

I am a mere beginer next the these khurkuri gods! I only have a Singapore Police one and a tidy sirupati with a sexy curve... I think all members should put down their addresses. Thanks

I'm not worthy, me with my lone GS. Some of you blow me away with your collection. I would also have a WWII in my collection but I can't seem to get a current HI forumite to send the khukuri to me (the check is cashed too)let alone answer me by email what is happening.
