HI sword collection

gurkha berserka · Mar 10, 2015

As promised here are some updated pictures of my HI sword collection. I left a standard katana in the photos for size comparisons. All my swords are by Kumar except for the Tibetan which is by Sher. The Talwar is a beast with an almost 1/2 spine. The Everest spine isn't far behind at just under 3/8. The wajisaki has a nice 5/16 spine which lends itself to extremely fast direction changes. I placed the photos in the Cantina because there are a couple "non" HI swords shown.

I couldn't ask for better swords, Kumar and Sher are aces when it comes to swords, as are Yuvraj and Rajkumar. I would of paid double for any of the HI swords and still been satisfied. Let me know if you likey and feel free to ask any questions...

I agree totally! That is what first attracted me to the Talwar, its got he sexiest horn handle I've seen to date. Its a little short but I can still get two hands on that bad Larry. The Everest's handle is nice and long... I love it. The wajisaki is a one handed wonder, and the Tibetan works well one or two handed.

Wow-Fantastic lineup GB. You appear to be prepared for most eventualities.

I would say I am rather well stocked for any eventuality that might arise. There are three Kalashnikov's scattered/hidden around the house in key areas for fast response. There is a AR15 shorty right next to my nightstand with a Surefire light attached for any "dark" encounters. Oh.. got a .45acp in the nightstand and the wifey has her Ruger in her night stand. Probably a dozen or so guns in different places around the house ready for action. Some think I am nuts. Some think I am overdoing it. I think I am just prepared... that's all

Beautiful display! I need to get some racks like those or figure out another way to display my collection.

Gehazi · Mar 10, 2015

Nice collection.

GB, Great looking collection. I am jealous of ALL your HI Swords. As for "Prepared" My Brother was a Eagle Scout but I think I live by the "Be prepared" Motto a lot more than he ever does. Particularly in the armed response category. I consider you well prepared but definately not nuts...but that might say more about me to

Thanks for sharing the great pictures!

Wow Bawanna! That is a very honorable and prestigious person to be. I am proud to know you... I always wanted to be one but never applied myself. Good to see there are people that go the distance. You and Shavs bro Rock

Congrats Bawanna. And the word you should use is IS not was. From what I understand being an Eagle Scout carries with you, your entire life. Which is fitting considering the effort involved. Do you remember your community project? I am curious what you did. Bet it was REALLY cool! Brother on the other hand was kinda pathetic, it involved cleaning up a local scuba site under the Narrows bridge, removing sunken junk like steel barrels and concrete tailings and junk from the bridge building and restoring the area to as natural as possible without removing things underwater denizens were living in. Was fun to be involved in, though. I guess it did take a lot of planning and coordination to arrange for that many divers to remove that sort of junk from the water and get it hauled to the dump or recycled as appropriate.
