HI khuk writeup found in old magazine

Thank you for this. I believe Mr. Thompson is an Air Force vet of the S.E. Asia conflict. As I remember he was involved with security at AF instalation in Laos and Thailand. Definately a been-there-done-that kinda guy.
 
What a great find--- thanks for posting! Makes you want to do some katas and then go chop something...
 
Is the writer of this article, Leroy Thompson any relation to Cold Steel's Lynn Thompson?
 
Thank you for the HI article post
 
Awesome!!! That's the very same article that made me find out about HI, was flipping through magazines waiting for my cousin in Penn Station, NYC, saw this article and my jaw dropped - khukuris in a US magazine???!!! that's the last thing I was expecting back then. Immediately wrote to Uncle Bill and next thing I was on this forum and had bought my first HI khukuri, a 15" angkhola from shop 1 with scrolled buttcap as shown in this atrticle.

Thank you very much for posting.
 
Hi Ad Astra,

I'm sure I have that magazine and I think another. Also, a few books about Merrill's marauders and also from an author that was a member of these warriors.
