these are the pictures I sent-- basically I just want a kami reproduction of these blades-- this kachin dha is just interesting, and I would like to see a kami's version-- but my priority is the jimpul parang
I also asked for this first, and is the one most likely to be given a solid attempt, not sure how much auntie is willing to put up with but I will throw money at her and the kami until they agree-- this is the one I want for sure, and am confident HI can do a good one
for the most giggles I sent this picture and asked if they could do anything like it

-- if these come through will cost me a kidney but will be totally worth it.-- this would be the most difficult and the only true mandau
the naga dao I am sure they can do, as its just a giant corn knife, but the three above are my formal request for a year or more, but sher and kumar were not around when I first asked

this last one is form the metropolitan museum of art and one of the most finely made blades I have ever seen
also anything that makes HI more money I am fine with, even if they had to drop customs, knowing that they would be getting paid and taken care of is part of the reason I try to spend cash on HI blades, because it directly benefits the people-- so yeah welcome to any nutnfancy customers!
