although I can't be the only one. Trust me, most folks on the planet would think that the blade under the pillow is a bit weird. I got better...
I also twirl them khuks in nice shiny arcs using the outside or inside twirl method used for Okinawan-style weapons or escrima. If done properly, the blade always faces away from the arm, and most times away from the rest of the bod too.
Oh, and I have a habit of messin with them all in some fashion - For the YCS I made a lefty sheath, blued the GS and the AK, Etched the Villager, AK Bowie, and so on. But the weirdness didn't stop there - then I started messin with other peoples HI stuff [tankx, yall know who ye be], etch here, carve there, half a dozen HI seaxes, two Pen knives, more on deck--heck its like I have some weird HI passaround thread goin!
"don't carry my khuk into the bathroom"--Interesting one, Chops. I don't mind if mine 'see' me in the bathroom, but I did explain to them the diff between "good touch" and "bad touch".
I had two khuks 'spooning' on my dresser and I was folding laundry. I ended up putting a few shirts on top of them ,and then I noted that the two buttcaps side-by side- do indeed look like eyes.
Another weird khuk thing - of the six HI pieces currently in my inventory:
1. Three of them are pre-owned HI pieces
2. Three of them were made by Sanu
3. Three of them were made by Sher.
4. Three of them have chiruwa-style handles
5. Three of them have wood handles
6. Three of them have horn handles
7. Three of them are discontinued models
8. Three of them are twin fullered (dui chirra?) models
9. Three are silver/white metal fittings..
