Himalayan Imports Sale! Post 1

Svashtar · Mar 9, 2007

Finally time to part with a few of my HI treasures. Too many other toys I need to pay for.

Here's what I have:

Bag Bhairab Ceremonial - 23" (OAL) and 37 oz. by Sher, with buffalo horn handle. The first one ever made, and offered on the 4/8/05 DOTD. This was in the pipeline the week Uncle Bill passed on, so is not UB marked.

Buffalo hide scabbard and karda and chakmak companion knives.

Never used, carried or sharpened, and exactly as rec'd from HI. The pictures do not do this one justice. SOLD

Also have a great example of the R-8 model by Kami Yuvraj. Very nice looking and comfortable chandan handle and sharp blade. Handle has the classic reddish chandan on one side and the newer stripy stuff on the other.

Also as rec'd from HI and never used or sharpened. Buff hide sheath leaves a lot to be desired IMO, but this is one of the first 3 or so made, and it is functional.

11" and 18 oz. Despite its large appearance this is an excellently balanced blade and very utilitarian; ideal for heavy camp work. SOLD

I pay priority shipping anywhere in the US or Canada, and will cover the PayPal fees.

PM or email me if interested.

Thanks very much for looking.

Guys, a forumite PM'd me about 12 hours ahead of you for the R-8. He is online now and hopefully will get back to me soon with a confirm. If I don't hear from him by tomorrow COB I will get back to you and go in order.

Thanks very much.
