Photos Just some pics of some knives we haven't seen in awhile

[cul4u01]

I was going through my collection looking for a knife for Bawanna, glad to say I found it, and I found some knives and sheaths, I thought they might be of interest to the newbies, and a nostalgic remembrance for the older members. I have too many knives, and swords to name, but these are definitely some of my favorites!


18" Bashpati with bone handle by Rajkumar


Don't remember what it was called, but I really love it. No maker's mark.


18" Farm Knife with bamboo root handle by Kumar


18" Kumar knife with carved wood handle and I had a sheath by Pugs made for it



Superior spear vala with carved wood handle by Kumar and I had a sheath made by pugs, yup that's beaver tail on the tip.

I remember you beating me to that Bashpati, she's a beauty. I think several others were going for that one too. I miss Pugs around here. Made durn nice sheaths. I should try to contact him and stir him up a bit.

The Bashpati was the very first knife I ever bought off the forum. I had bought off the website only a BAS, Silver mounted AK, and UBE, a month before snagging the Bashpati, after that, I just went on a tear for a few years. Don't get me wrong, I still come in often to see what's on the menu, if I see a nice one, I'll try for it!

A most excellent collection. Well worthy of your “favorites” status cul4u01 .

Superior Spear Vala is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE hi swords!

I think that second knife was a Himalayan Razor? Love it! Yeah that Bashpati is bad to the bone. I cried when that one sold! Still dont have one!

 

[cul4u01]

a Himalayan razor? maybe....I really don't remember it. I was so hyped when I got the bashpati, my first ever off of BF. I would send it to you brother, but I just love this one way too much to give it up.

Man, that bashpati is gorgeous!
It needs a Pugs sheath. I've had two sheaths made by him. My big VUK by Purna in the Pugs sheath is my favorite carry rig. I should post a pic of it.

The bashpati may be my favorite self defense khukuri. I used to carry mine in a shoulder rig.

Pugs can make a sheath, He's done several for me. I may ask him to make one for my bashpati one day.

I got this Ultimate Fighter by Vim about four years ago. From a web site that must go unnamed here. Knife and sheath absolutely gorgeous. I forget how much I paid for it, but my thought at the time was that the sheath alone was worth that much. The knife is 17.5" OAL, and weighs 36oz, with a walnut handle.

Fighting sword (saber) by Rajkumar. 28" OAL, scabbard is grey horn with brass trim. From the collection of the late Bigbore577. I wondered at first what was the purpose of the extreme curve. Then I realized that it allows the wielder to swing the blade backwards over the shoulder, impaling someone approaching too closely from behind.

Falcata by Kumar, 27" OAL. Also from the Bigbore577 collection. This is a very heavy blade with a very heavy, deeply carved scabbard.
