A buddie of mine buyed this from ebay one month ago.

It was declared as "HI Super M43" with a size of 25 Inches and a weight of 50oz!

Now he wants to get sure, thats from HI.

He also wants to know which kami made it.

He is grateful for each help :)

that is absolutely a raj kumar -- double mountains are his symbol-- and if your friend wants to sell this piece a few of us would take a whack at it. raj kumar is not kumar of sher fame, but the guy who made most of HI's high quality stuff after bura could no longer work.( custom swords)
 
Thanks alot for the helpful answers! :)

I can ask him, if he would sell it but I think he is starting to "idolize" it in a "creepy" way :D

HI curse for a HI blade... If there was any doubt left about the authenticity. Now they're gone.
Odds are that not only your friend will keep it, but he is also going to acquire more. LoL
 
Its funny how blades like that slip by even the most dedicated ebay lurker. Nice find.
 
HI Rajkumar without a doubt. No rings and looks like M43 to me. Snos right i bet! Tell your friend about the forum here and get him infected:thumbup: We'll do our best to make sure the bug sticks! Very nice blade. Rajkumar makes some very fine stuff. Ill take a Rajkumar of anykind anyday:thumbup:

Just like everyone else said.

It's an HI, made by Rajkumar, and boy does he know his steel. I have quite a few by him, and they are all top notch!
 
He He He ^^

After we won the WM, my buddie got a little "euphoric" and I made him a trade offer for the M43: My CR sebbie for the Kuk.

And..... now I´m the proud owner of 3,15 lbs handcrafted steel! :D :D :D
 
I got some requests for the sheath and so I wanted to share it with you also.

And here it is ;)

really is a beautiful example of Raj Kumar's great work while he was with HI -- hopefully he comes back soon too-- I understand he is working for his uncle in a jeweler at the moment, something to do with the vagaries of family relations.
