On the DOTD thread titled "Christmas Presents are Available Right Now" on 12/2, one of the knives was a Gray horn handled Malla. To me, the pictures were stunning.

I have not seen many Mallas come up on the forum, they seem sort of rare. Gray horn handles do not come up very often (again, rare). This one has that slightly curved handle that everyone seems to like, unlike most Mallas that I have seen. This one balances. And it's a Kumar Blade. This is an exquisite piece of craftsmanship melded with a gift of nature. It feels like I have acquired the Nepalese Excalibur.

I can't see how it sat for over twenty hours without anyone dropping the EMS before me.

To me there is only one explanation.

Bawanna posted that it was my lucky day-- "That blade wanted you and you alone." Bookie said that khuks are like cats and they choose who they want to be with. I have read posts stating the sentiment that HI Blades find the home they are meant for several times over the past year.

Now, I believe.
 
I am sure it is the first of many, as we were all similarly enchanted by our first purchase with HI ! welcome to the family sleeper, there are more out there for you! and the malla is one of my favorite styles, not just because its historic, but because it has a unique cho and nice essential khukuri design :D
 
As you probably know from other threads, this is not my first HI blade. I'm just in awe that I was able to get this one.
 
Sleeper, I'm glad you and the blade appear to be soul mates. Mine happens to be a Curved Spine. All I can say, brother is: HIKV. It gets WORSE!
 
Sleeper, All my HI blades are special, but isn't it amazing when a particular one works with fate to arrive in your hands. I know it seemed far fetched when i first got here, but it just happens a bit too frequently for coincidence that particular blades hang around just like your described. Even when that style is being sharked in mere minutes just a day before. Then poof they were just what someone was looking for and are their special blade. Glad this one found you, and based on the pic. It definitely is special.
