The Kami's now have new tools so everyone is hoping to see some great stuff coming in the future.

Nice to see ya back at the old stompin' grounds, JR
:thumbup:

Hi, "JR"; I'm one of the "noobs" that Karda mentions. I presently own an M43 and several other items, after coming on board about 9 months(?) ago. Here's the other news:
- Last year, a few of us put together a massive, "Care package" of supplies for the kamis, after materials started to run a little lean. One or two of us are still sending stuff in, from time to time. (Thread name: Kamis need some supplies)
- There's been some turnover at the shop. Get and Sher (the tiger) have left, at least for the time being, for work outside the country. However, a promising newcomer, also called Sher (we just say "Young Sher"), has arrived in the meantime.
- A ton of new items have been introduced, or at least experimented with, including the Amar Singh Thapa khukuri and the Hauswehr, among many others. So many, in fact, that with the aid of other Forumites, I've had to put together a thread to contain the massive number of items that aren't actually on the site. (Thread title: "The Missing Pages in the HI Catalog.")
Also, someone here just welcomed a grandchild, ShadowChaser's son just survived a major car wreck, and a chakram is under discussion.

JR:
You already have the HI Chop-Off Blade (HI-COB): an 18" AK.
And it isn't so much a matter of my having HIKV, as all but one of my blades were gifts. It's my being a carrier, the Typhoid Mary of khukuris: Dad now owns a carved-handled, 6" Kumar Karda, and Mom may be willing to get a khuk as a gift for someone. Worse still, Dad's occasionally sending some "extra" pieces of wood to HI from his woodworking shop.

The shop website is down, so i'm assuming he's still closed. I see him lurk here every once in awhile though.
Hey Justright, Welcome back! I too am an old-timer that made a return last year after many many years of being away.
BTW, if you're talking about the Sarki Shop, from what I understand, the shop closed down some months ago, which is a real shame as I was looking forward to send some business his way.
