khukri question

No idea, but if HI won't let me speak my mind about their price/quality, I'll make sure people have a chance to know how this customer feels.
 
Seems to me you have spoken your mind repeatedly, without being "silenced".
If you were being "silenced" you and your posts would disappear from this board.
The management here, however doesn't operate in that manner.

Because some of us are tired of you going on about the same subject, and have said so, doesn't mean you are being "silenced"

If you have a review of a knife/machete/golok, etc, we even have a dedicated forum for reviews. If you have something constructive to say about a particular blade, I suggest that would be the appropriate forum.

If all you want to do is bash HI, or any other company for that matter, I wish you would do it somewhere else. I don't think I'm alone in that.
 
I'm not bashing HI (although I don't think Karda should've closed the thread in my sig). I did state why HI was better in some ways and why KH is now my choice. I also requested to have that thread moved to the reviews forum, but the mods didn't move it.

If you don't like my posts, don't read them.

I will be posting a review of the KH Sirupate alongside the HI Kobra (DOTD khuk with a blemished handle) when it comes in.

He closed the thread because you stepped across the line by "cleverly" insulting Mrs. Martino.

I have grown tired of you and your self-centered attitude that you are being "picked on."

Do you see yourself as some sort of lonely hero standing tall against the evil HI and the rest of Bladeforums? I think you're more of an ...irritating, asinine, self-important little mall ninja.

Enough...you go on my ignore list before I resort to language not suited for this forum...
 
As I said before, your thread wasn't moved because there was too much there that had nothing to do with a review.

Play your little games but do not make work for me.
 
I guess Mike L's an HI fan. :) Knowing what costs of production are like in Nepal, I believe my question about Yangdu's lifestyle was valid.

I love Bladeforums and its members, and plenty of people here agree with me on the KH/HI thing. I've even received an e-mail or two from people who agree, but haven't posted on the boards.

Thanks for the positive commentary. :thumbup:

But you dont have any knowledge of Yangdus lifestyle, and you didnt ask, you implied some type of wrongdoing was afoot.

I cant ever recall reading a "review" where the reviewer brings the lifestyle of anyone into question.
 
Just read the OP on this one. I recommend getting your brother something he wants, not something you want him to have.

My comment came well after my review. You're right, I have no knowledge of her lifestyle. My exact words were, "I wonder what Yangdu's lifestyle is like." Costs of production per khukuri probably do not exceed US$10, including payments to kamis. I believe she is making a lot more profit on them than KH is, although KH can benefit from economies of scale as Nepali soldiers all over the world get their khuks through them. Most of the Gorkhali folk I know who know of Khukuri House have never heard of Himalayan Imports.

His comment came from his own thread and are exactly as follows.

If you compare Birgorkha to the KH production facility pictured on their website, the KH kamis look to be much better off. I wonder just how well Aunty is living out in Reno at the prices she charges.

I am done jayinhk, you obviously are quite shameless.
 
Nah, I merely made a statement based on the pictures on both sites. Is it wrong for me to wonder why HI's khuks cost more than twice as much? Sure, HI might be helping the kamis, but I suspect a nice, large chunk of revenue is being retained in The Biggest Little City in the World.

That might be a selling point for some buyers. Me? I still think KH makes better khukuris (at least at present) for a lot less money. The ones I got this year are much better than the Jungle Panawal I got last year.
