OK, everyone knows Yangdu has the best packaging and fastest shipping this side of the North Pole. Today I discovered it can be interesting reading as well.
Every so often the stack of empty triangular boxes in the garage becomes large enough to attract the attention of SWMBO, and it's time for a trip to the recycle bin. It's an excuse to cut up cardboard boxes, which can be fun, but there is also the newspaper to be dealt with. Frankly, the Reno Gazette-Journal is not too exciting, but this morning I came across some pages that made me sit up and say "Toto, we're not in Nevada any more!"

Check out the size of the tulwar on the left side of the pic - Holy Toledo:eek:.
 
I still enjoy getting to read the Reno Gazette-Journal and the odd Cabelas catalogue as well ...it has become part of my new arrival routine and I read the newspaper to give me a chance to admire the new HI product oh so slowly! ;)
 
Be sure to search the Triboxes thoroughly. Sometimes Ms Yangdu will gift you with a surprise.

:cool:
 
Hi, old forumite here making a return after 7-8 years away!

Neat photo! I can speak Nepali better than I can read it, so from what I can gather from the caption it says something along the lines of: "the Lepcha community of ILAM gathering ... youth paying respect to / holding on to old traditions ... " something like that. No details in there about that tulwar. Ilam is a province in the extreme east of Nepal, bordering Sikkim, which used to be a Buddhist kingdom, but is now (since mid-1970s) a state of India. The Lepchas are the indigenous people of that area - Sikkim, Darjeeling, and neighboring areas - they are ethnically a bit different from mainstream Nepali communities, even their neighbors, the Limbus and the Rais of eastern Nepal. They have their own language, written script, traditions, dress, native religion, etc. although these days a large number of them are Buddhists and Christians.
 
Awesome! I was just joking about the translation. I love learning, especially when I'm not expecting to. Thank you very much.

My friend, Kala, could probably tell you. The amusing thing about coming to this forum is, that at the local farmers' market where I shop, there's a woman FROM Nepal, who runs a food stand. I actually remember talking to her about khukuris when I first found this place: she was the one who first told me about the karda-and-chakmak firestarter method, and assured me that khuks could be used in the kitchen. When I order, I may afterwards get a real kick out of giving her some "news from back home."

I've bought my wife two khukuris; a little kagas katne and a 15.5" Chitlangi. She uses the chitlangi in the kitchen all the time. It's a nice meat cleaver.
 
there was a video linked here showing one of our professional chef members filleting a salmon with an HI kuk in addition to using it for other chefly chores, slicing, dicing, etc...

can't find it at the moment.

Yes; I've seen that movie. He fillets a big salmon, chops up pineapples and green peppers......all with a WWII model.
