I started out trying to research the story from UB about how he was presented with the first Super Salyan. Didn't find it.
I came across a couple of threads on HI Inventories. One of which I forgot to bookmark. It gives an interesting insight on which model of Khukuri many forumites decided they wanted . WHO is Harry?
Disclaimer: I'm primarily a collector of HI Khukuris & Swords. Yes, I do use several different models for wood chopping and splitting, snake killers, weed control, etc. Changing models as my mood changes. I also use them occasionally for a plane or draw knife. I have given quite a few as gifts and/or to introduce others to the quality of Hi Products. Primarily , I enjoy the history and craftmanship of the BirGorka Family.
I don't have the technical expertise as many of our esteemed forumites have to detail the specific attributes of each model and Kami, but does not detract from my appreciation of the Khukuris and the great appreciation of our esteemed knowledgeable forumite experts.

To add to this thread; One day, I hope to beat Harry.
I have to have some claim to infamy!
I REALLY NEED to lay them all out on the floor and reinventory. It would take several hours as I admired each and every one with some knowledge I have gained over the last several years. Unfortunately, I can not do this as Moms condition precludes that. I wouldn't want one of them to conveniently disappear for an ulterior motive.
