My neighbors' children, bless their soulless husks, sometimes take it upon themselves to steal our mail. Because of that, all edged tools and holiday shopping gets delivered to the in-laws'.

Tonight, we went over so Grammie and Grampy could show off their baby to their pals. When we got there, there was a box from New Graham Pharmacy and a triangle box from Nevada. Hmm...

Cindy's first knife, a pink-handled Spyderco Jester, had shown up and will wait until she's ready to use knives. Daddy's Garud AK also showed up and the dragon carving smiled at me like the chickenhawk on those Foghorn Leghorn cartoons. Nice!

After a wonderful evening with family and one of Grampy's childhood friends; we strapped our most prescious cargo (Cindy, of course!) into her carseat and her new bubby (the pink Spyderco) and dad's new bubby (Chickenhawkey Khukuri) were placed on the floor of the car before Mommy and dad started the trip home.

That Garud Ang Khola is going to be on my side in its perfect sheath everytime a boy comes to the door looking for my daughter. :D
 
Good plan. Won't work. BUT, good plan.

Mine was to be reassembling a shotgun every time I first met a prospective boyfriend of my daughters.

They brought the newbies over to their mother's home. :grumpy:

Children are wise and they have a network of contemporaries who share techniques to avoid parental interference. With the new portable communication technologies...good luck. By the time it is an issue for you, your daughter will have cell-phone earings and be in constant contact with the bar-code reader scanning your bar-code credit implant which will be tied into the "Parental Lo-Jack" system to track your movements.

But...Good Plan.

Thom, you lucky dog:D I'm still in a toss up between a Garud and a bowie. I just worked a 71.5 hour week and ran a successful sale, so i think i might have to get myself something nice for all my stress;) I'm pleased to hear that your visit went well and everyone returned home safely. As far as your plan to use the mighty Garud to simmer down the hormonal fires raging in the pants of future young men, I'm with Kis. I dunno if it'll work, BUT it has to be better than what my father-in-law to be did... which is nothing. No speech, no threats, no shotgun, no 11" bladed knife, nothin'. Here i was, 14 and with seemingly free range on his daughter. Did his respect and trust keep his daughter's honor intact? All i'm going to say is... at least i'm marrying her;) It just took 10 years.

Congrats on the baby girl:)

I guess youse guys are right. My father-in-law greeted me at the door cleaning his brother's AK-47 when I was 13 or 14 and my fear only lasted for that half hour.

Thanks, Jake.
 
I saw Stephen King's 'Storm of the Centure" - remember the dog's head cane? I can just see a Garud khuk handle coming alive and 'following someone home.'

I like this idea. One of the forumites could have a regular column- what the Garud said to me today.

That might be neccesary if you're going to start talking to a Garud. I could start talking to my Hanuman.

Excellent....

When we get real good at it, we could then move to underground layers like that guy Kismet wrote about.
 
My Hanuman has a gentle, smiling face. Not what you'd expect from a large blade. No evil grin, skull and bones, no relish for war. My son and I like him. He's a nice guy. So is my son. Several forumites might recall a mention of a friend of mine who will not own a khukuri. The basic truth- blades for killing, prevents his participation. This despite his background in martial arts and philosophy.

For my son, though, Himalayan Imports khukuris are friends, tools to be used and in turn cared for. He as an opinion about every khuk in the house. He likes them.
