I have no choice - must trade these three.

As hard as I tried not to let my khuks go, I’ll have to get rid of some.
I traded a few things I needed with a friend and he asked me for some folders for his collection – BMs, MODs, Spidies, the like - so that is what I am looking for.
I am not looking for a specific pattern – I just have to check if he already has it or not.
As usual preference is gives to fellow HI Forumites.
The khukuris I will let go are:

18th Century, steel fittings, wood handle, by KNN – This knife is fantastic and I love the steel fittings but I can’t get used to its large handle. I will soon order another from Uncle Bill with a slimmer handle. Like new, except ligh oxidation in one spot close to the tip, on both sides.

Chitlangi -18”, brass fittings, wood handle, full sun mark Never used, but shows very few small dark spots.

Kobra – 18”, brass fittings, wood handle, half moon mark. Used and sharpened but perfect.

I got the first two by the middle of last year from Uncle Bill and the Kobra in a trade a little earlier.
This really breaks my heart so please lets make it quick and clean, ok? Trades only, no sales for these. Times are a bit tough over here and I’ll be glad if I only have to see these three go.

And before someone asks, no, I won’t give up this time...
 
Hello

The Chitlangi is gone, both others are pending but probably gone, too.
Fortunatelly, it is being a fast proccess, at least...
 
All gone, Uncle, and to HI forum guys! they sure muve qucikly.
I think I will have a couple more to go this weekend under the same conditions, though, and for the same reason...
 
I've got an MOD Trident that I'm tempted to trade, but I've already bonded with it. It and I have been inseperable for a year now. Now, if the khuks came with a pocket clip, we might be in business ;)
 
Some we can't part with no matter what. We've seen guys post a khukuri for sale and then have a change of heart and take it down.
