Nobody has a chance. This is a special order put in by Koz that showed up yesterday afternoon. It's done by Durba and as you can see I don't think Harry is going to be disappointed with this one. It was made to Harry's own specs and came in at about 97%.

Nope, that is definitely not ugly. Somehow I doubt anything like this will be included when Harry unloads some of his clutered collection. Just a hunch

And I bet it don't stay in a dark and dank cave as long as Harry has it.

I sure hope Tsimi is using a lot of anti-rust stuff on his "Research Items" or has a nice dry cave, but I think that's impossible in Florida.

Also kinda surpriseing that Harry didn't have the blade engraved.
The carved scabbards are very beautiful indeed and that Dhankuta isn't nothing to be ashamed of either.

Sometimes the clean look is the best. And this is definitely one that will not go on the selling block.

GROAN.

I have two tomahawks and two khukuris in the air and Uncle puts this up.

I'm doomed.

Is that mother-of-pearl or abalone on the yin-yang inlay? Hard to tell on my junk screen at work.
 
:
The inlay is probably bone and buffalo horn Doc.
That's the inlay on the YCS anyway.

Oh!!!
And your package went out today along with Walosi's, Howard's, Andrea's, and Finn's.

Walosi's and Finn's are the ones that need to be watched for and retrieved as quickly as possible though.

Doc,
If you don't mind my asking, are those HI tomahawks? I didn't know if the project ever got off the ground? And if not would you mind saying where you did get them from?

Thanks

I like the blade shape on this one, especially how it narrowers more gradually toward the tip. Looks alot like the blade on my 16.5" WWII. Well done Harry (and Durba)!

MauiRob- No, not the HI tomahawk. I'm still waitin' on that one, and on the bancharos

The two I have incoming are one of the "new" LaGana tomahawks from ATC, and a nice forged number from RMJ forge.

And I have a design sketch on my desk now that looks better to me every time I see it. Need to get it posted, see if the experts round here think it will work.

Settle down, Jim. I have a new mantra (I will not look at that picture, 2,000 times). Worked on a pic of Raquel Welch - didn't even slow me down on this one. Carved sheath...inlaid handle.....silver fittings....BAH, HUMBUG...

Easy, Jim...don't burst a blood vessel on my account....This was something I special ordered as I wished for something unique from Durba. It IS pretty though....
