Hello Seamus! Glad you dropped in. You'll find aficionados of every blade HI makes and that means you have questions, you'll get answers. I'll start the ball rolling with my famous quote: If you can have only ONE khukuri, make it a M43. They're definitely heirloom material. Sadly, you're soon to be infected with a nasty disease. First you'll get bit by the HIKV bug. Then the delirium tremens sets in. Then it gets baaad. You'll be salivating at the mouth, eyes will be popping outta your head ever time a DOTD comes on the screen, and you'll be typing thank you notes to the fellers who bought the khuk before you could log into Pay Pal. That, my new found friend, is the dreaded You Can't Buy Just One Khuk. No cure, laddie buck. You will have become JUST like the rest of us. Just like in the song Hotel California, underscoring is mine:
"Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
'Relax' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!"
