HI identification thread

thanks karda -- please anyone else with concerns about an HI blade post them here and we can help identify or confirm or deny-- kadka is a tricky one to identify because of the special relationship he had, another question while I am here-- what is the symbol for pang and jeng? or whoever the two brothers that made the first bonecutter?
 
Gehazi,

It ain't hard to tell (check out on Willieboy):

Hehe, me too Gehazi. It is the only thread I am subscribed too. I go back and drool occasionally, or maybe plot is the better verb.

They were not employed by HI, so no symbol.
Not sure how the whole thing transpired, but, I assume that they sold pala a few khukuri which ended up here on the forum for sale.

great lines on those blades, really like the scabbard design? ( is there a difference between a scabbard and a sheath?)
 
Gehazi, I have always heard in historic circles the phrase ""a sword or dagger may have a scabbard or a sheath, but a knife that is not a sword or dagger may only have a sheath." Not sure if that helps of not. I do know that for scabbard the word origin related to sword and protection/cover. Where sheath is much more common in the US when referring to either.
 
There is a term when you have a khukuri on hand:

2 "self-defense devices" on both hand, one with knife and the other with a chaped scabbard.
 
to quote some ol 80s song as self defense tactics "You can ring my Be-e-ell, ring my Bell" :D
 
Oh my back to the disco days. We had a favorite pizza joint that had that and My Ding a Ling in the same juke box.
After a few hours of continuous playing of the two they finally unplugged the thing. Seems the clientele wasn't as fond of it as our rather large group.
 
I didn't disco, even I have scruples, but I did kind of dig the funny lights and short skirts. I'm a bad boy.

You were probably over at the University of Rotating Wing Craft about that time I reckon. Flying Generals over the fence.
