Warm Welcome to Our HI New Kamis!!!!!
 
That's great! Welcome to the new kamis!.

P.S. If I held a khuk like he's doing in pic #1, I would lose some toes. :D
 
Great to see the new guys! Can't wait to get my hands on some of their work!

Good looking crew and looks like they all have families too so I hope this new job is helpful to all.
 
:thumbup:A warm Welcome! to Tirtha, Tej, Lokendra and Bhakta kamis. I look forward to seeing your work. May you all prosper during your tenure with BirGorkha.

Yangdu, it is good to see that the shortage of kamis seems to have been addressed and BirGorkha can get production rolling. I just hope that there's enough electricity to go around for all these kamis.

Mmm, I was a bit surprised seeing that, but he probably knows what he's doing.:thumbup:

IIRC, there are some pics on the main HI site with a kami holding the blade with both his feet while he hammers on it. Just shows how skillful and flexible they are. ;)
 
Namaste and Welcome to Tirtha, Tej, Lokendra and Bhakta kamis !
Blessings to All !
 
Yangdu,
Four kamis with 70 years experience among them:thumbup:. Very good news for BirGorkha and HI. I'm really looking forward to seeing their work.

Warm welcomes.

Can't wait to see the new crew's action; that's a lot of experience making, right there.

There's always the risk of hitting your feet with the hammer.

This looks like a fine band of new hires, and it's encouraging to hear that some have worked with HI before. It's sad to hear that Lokendra lost his shop, but we sure can't say he isn't qualified!
 
I am glad to see the shop has found new Kamis to replace those who left. I am looking forward to see what these guys can bring to the table.
 
A very warm welcome to all the new Kami's. :thumbup"

May their hands and feet continue to turn out quality works! :D
