Help with Kami marks

tedwca · Feb 2, 2015

Hi Cantinistas,

I have to sell some more of my older HI blades and I'm having trouble remembering the kami marks. I looked through the kami mark threads but the only one I might be sure of is the Sher mark and even then it might be someone else. The flags may be Vim. I have no idea if the candle is The kami with no Name or not. I'd like to be sure of the marks before I post them. Thanks in advance.

Not a clue on the Kami marks, but those are some perty blades. I'll keep any eye out in the exchange for em, maybe I can score one.

First is a Sher, the others are Nepali Flags, unsure as to who it represents. Candle is probably Yuvraj.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure the flags are Durba, since I've been told Vim turned his in a different direction. Yuravai definitely sounds familiar.

I'll keep an eye out in the exchange too.

I don't suppose you're trying to sell a CAK 17/32...

My 2 cents: I have Vim's flag pole going the same direction as the blade and Kesar's & Durba's going side ways with Durba's smaller than Kesar's.

Durba:
Bill Martino 2/2000
More marks
Durba -- flag of Nepal

Vim:

Yuvraj:

I believe Yuvraj uses a more simple mark now with a stick and dot to represent flame.

Thanks, the visuals help a lot. I really appreciate the help.

ted I will kill a man for those durba's just tell me who.

DarthTaco123 · Feb 3, 2015

I'll be one Gehazi, been looking for a Durba piece, only heard the name (always associated with great stuff).

Yavraj's mark is a straight line with a dot on top. Here is an example from a wajisaki I traded to Cul...

P.S. I want that Sher piece bad!

lol ted has already made whatever sales he needs to make :d-- and yeah darth, durba is my favorite kami of all time, most of my pieces I bought in 99 and 2000 were by durba, they have a character all their own, it is definitely worth trying to get them if you can, how about this , you can have the ang and ill take the sword

*sound of vultures and dogs fighting over scraps

really great stuff ted, hate that you have to sell it but you know it will go to real lovers of HI stuff if you post on the exchange!

DarthTaco123 · Feb 3, 2015

Sounds like a deal to me! Hopefully I'm on when they go up.

Thanks guys, I'm pretty sure they are Vim and not Durbas as I'm pretty sure they are not old enough to be Durbas. I wish they were. I have posted them in the exchange with specs and more photos.
