peeling the skin off of soup that's been out too long?














(its a lovely soup skin peeler by the way)
 
So You're the one who got that! I was watching it closely, and almost bid myself. Lovely kerambit (I think?)

I don't care what it's purpose is as long as they keep it away from MY "rice"... :eek:

Exquisitely Beautiful!!!! I wouldn't kick it aside if it was on my path!!!! :D ;)

I agree that it does resemble a Karambit but I'm not sure if that is what it really is.:rolleyes: :grumpy:
Those people have so many knives designed expressively for only one purpose that it is all very confusing for me.:confused:

Methinks our friend Bill knows what it is so I am waiting with bated breath for him too tell us.:D :p ;)
 
Have heard it called a korambi or lawi ayam. Overall length is about 7 inches.

Yeah, it's a fighting knife, usually used by the lower classes like our view of a switchblade. One swift unexpected motion and the guy's guts are on the floor! It's an ambush type of attack, not a defensive weapon. Similar to a jambiya in the use of the curved blade, the complaint with straight knives is that it is difficult to get around the protective ribs to deliver a really massive fatal blow, this design solves that problem- the first guthook design!

I've heard there is a small one that Malay and Sumatra women keep in their hair bun (konde). Never seen one of these, sure would buy it if I do!
 
Bill, I came across your avatar on the web a couple of days ago. Thats a pretty serious looking guy there :eek: . I always thought it was a woman holding a mop handle until I saw the whole thing :rolleyes: . KM and I were going to make some barongs out of truck spring and we were trying to find pics. I also found Federico's website, which is very nice.

God Damn!!!! :eek: :barf: :(

I know one damned thing! If that had ever happened too me the bitch had better be off the planet when I got out of the hospital!
I would Not be as considerate as she was and drive her too the hospital when I was through with her!
I'd make damned sure she suffered as much pain and humiliation as I had only 100 times over!!!! :mad:

Now that you mention it, it does look like the bass player in one of those hillbilly bands. :D

If it's made right, you shouldn't get a hangover (my last batch was 198 proof & had been run thru a reflux still three times) you just wake up three years later wondering what happened

i'm afraid i was just remeniscing, sold the still before i left saudi back in 1987 & the last batch is LONG gone. (did have to cut it down to about 100 proof afore drinkin it tho, else it'd leech all the water out of yer gullet on the way down & tan your stomach) you'd wake up without a hangover but need to drink about 2 gallons of water for the dehydration. (it's the fusil oil and tannins that cause the bad side effects in commercial booze, pure alchohol mostly just dehydrates you, besides pickling yer liver. we'd make about 2-3 gallons a month (had a lot of parties over there) & scotch and gin flavourings were right popular (they'd add back the contaminants i'd worked so hard to get rid of) but i preferred it unflavoured just mixed with coke or tonic..used to trade a gallon to an army sargent at the airbase for a case of heineken every month too.
