So as my collection grows I find that I may be suffering some of the symptoms commonly associated with what I have learned to be dubbed HIKV. Logging in multiple times a day to check latest/greatest deals. The flutter of the heart when you get the EMS message in. Checking first thing in the morning when my alarm goes off to see if Yangdu gives me the Done Deal email. Telling myself I can stop at any time & of course the marital "discussions" that go with any good addiction :)
My collection is small but just by it being dubbed a collection does it not by default also add to the list of indicators...
I fear I cannot live in denial any longer & must come to grips with the fact that my name has been added to the list of those with this dreaded virus known as HIKV

I'm no sawbones but I think you got it. Comfort thyself in the fact that there are far worse things to get.
 
At least they all fit on one cutting board, for now :) also that Pacthar is splendid, as is the Mini Wajaski! Tell me, does your Wajaski have engraving on the top part of the gaurd?
 
Well I fear the UBE & AK Bowie Yangdu is boxing up for me probably just pushed me off the board :)

What do I say about the Wajaski but WOW! I was as pleasantly surprised when I unboxed it as you & the engraving is very similar yours. Absolutely beautiful in both fit & form. What did it for me is balance though! I was skeptical that this piece would hold up to the traditional Wakizashis that I have played with &/or own but I couldn't help but smile ear to ear once I unboxed & gave it a couple swooshes! It a different beast of course without all the fancy finishes & differential heat treatment of the trads but top notch fusion in my book! I have done my fair share of Tameshigiri training & although haven't taken this one to the mat yet I have all confidence that it would excel!
 
Great picture and collection, Thank you for sharing
 
Hei Helge. Alas, there is no cure. You just as well bite the bullet, go without meals, and sell off your first born male child to feed the addiction. A hearty welcome to you from the members of KA (Khukuri Anonymous).
 
Our young mailman just left here at Toad Hall. This is sad. He brought one of those revered triangular boxes to the front door. I took it and said "Thanks!" He just stood there looking at me. Pleading was all over his countenance. His steady gaze was tugging at my heart strings. "Oh. O.K., I'll open the box." He had read the address label and saw that the box had indeed been mailed from Reno. Drool was collecting at the corners of his mouth. Alas for him. He being a low-paid public servant has little money for the finer things in life, but he does appreciate my humble collection of Nepali craftsmanship. Yes, HIKV is bad. This illustrates just how heart-breaking it can be. A non-collector can be bitten by the dreaded bug and succumb into the throes of desire, never to return to a normal, everyday life........
 
The first step in dealing with any addiction is admit you have an addiction.

Dude, your addicted.
 
HIKV.....ain't happening! What you ...do have....is a bad case of Kuk "LUST"!!
THE DUCK!
 
I love that picture!

Every time my wife get a bit out of sorts I show her that one and she realizes that I've got it all under control.

Yeah right.
 
You can almost double that on the bed now. I learned a hard lesson right there tho. Never put all your Khukris in the same basket! Least while you wife is home. Someday when she goes to visit her mom for a few days ill update that photo.
 
Looks like yall be needing a bigger bed!

Last year trip to Reno, something was messed up with reservations and they gave us a room up high with the rich folks.

Bed was so big I could put my arms straight out to my sides and not touch the missus. Almost needed an intercom to tell her stuff.

I think you need one of them.
