Somebody keep track of the score.

Looks like Berks Dui Chirra is winning

Ya know, just to add to the excitement, I'd like to get a couple of the models to use as trainers... my guess is they wouldn't chop off someone's arm accidently if they were to miss a block

Fox, what do you think a good price would be for one of them new fangled injection molded models (one that was stiff enough to train with... not the rubbery kind

).

Oh yeah, I'd like to see a copy of JPs ivory handled hanshee (HEE!). That is such a fun word to say... (I agree with you Dave, Mini 43 hanshee....)

Injection molded , Hmmmmmmmmmn, all I know about that is that its a huge set up cost. i'm doing an open back mold.

Does "open back" mean you only get detail on one side of the mold? Or does it mean you do two half molds and glue em' together?

foxjaw · Jan 11, 2002

Yup Bruise, I'm molding one side to to send to the kamis so they can reproduce a real khuk with two sides and a razor edge

Bill Martino · Jan 11, 2002

That scares me. I'm afraid we may get back a half khukuri.

foxjaw · Jan 11, 2002

I have faith in the Kamis to produce a full khuk

Opps, my bad... I just guessed it was injection molded (I missed the thread on the process)...

So would it be possible to epoxy to of the "halfs" together for a trainer??? Sharp edges not desired... just an aapproximation on weight and size... OR wouldn't it work for various reasons?

Cheers
