This King Kobra is a very decent effort by Kumar. It is 30 inches long and weighs in at about 42 ounces. Basically, a solid khukuri but it needs a little TLC. A handle crack has been repaired by Vikash but it needs polishing and the blade needs a polish, too. The scabbard could use a little repair near the throat.

So, if you want to extend that care to this rig and make it yours we will deliver it to your door for an even $100.

Call or email if interested.

If it were a 25 inch model I'dd take it , but I thiink I'll pass on this one . Still looking for just the right Gelbu .
 
Handsome khukuri, though a bit too long for my needs. If this had been a GS, Edd would've been right on it. And yes, that is a lot of knife for $100. That's why I love the deals on these blems. They keep you on the edge of your seat with anticipation. This one will be spoken for any minute now.

Keep 'em coming, Uncle Bill!
 
Whew!

Had to snap-post that one to make sure that I wasn't weasled out of it by one of you fast-fingered forumites

Here's a better post:

Dear uncle Bill,

If the King Kobra you posted is still available for $100 dollars, I will gladly take it off your hands.

Yours,

Mike

PS Erk, I assume that payment for my last impulse buy arrived? I didn't see the check clearing on this month's bank statement...

Bravo, Mike. I'm glad to see you finally get first dibs on one--and a very choice one at that. For those in the market for a King Kobra, this is the best deal I've seen on them so far. Hey, nothing wrong with this blem that can't be fixed at home. The blade is good, and that's what counts. I'll bet there won't be any more $100 King Kobras for a long, long while.
 
I'm with X-Head on the blems . It's not just the money , I've always liked the underdog . Those little imperfections add to the character . Kinda like the movie RUDY . Then there is the aspect of the hunt , you have to be on your toes and alert to get the deal .

BE berry , berry quit ... I'm hunting Wabbit !
 
well I think that the 30 kobra is a great knife to hunt wabbits with.

FYI, I don't think you'll be able to hide that one from your wife by putting it in the dresser drawer

you'll HAVE to take that camping next weekend!
 
I'm already trying to figure out how to explain our 'need' for this khukuri.

She liked the villager. She found it useful. She was okay with the Sirupati. The day the 20" kobra arrived she said something about how I didn't need any more knives (this before she saw the kobra- so it went in the dresser drawer in order to reappear at a later date).

This monster? Well, I can't very well HIDE it, now can I?

Hopefully it will arrive in tome for camping.

the funniest part happened RIGHT after I posted my last reply. I hit the *SUBMIT* button and the browser goes through it's routine. As the thread comes back up, in walks Allyson. She peers over my shoulder at the picture of the 30" Kobra.

"Wow," she says. "Thats a really big knife."

I nod in response. "Isn't it, though?"

"Yes," she says. "Its a really big knife that you don't need."

"Hmmm. Thats too bad."

"Why?" she asks.

"I just bought it."

She peers at me, her eyes all narrow and suspicious. (Tom, you know the look I mean

)

I just look back, my expression mild and matter of fact.

"No you didn't," she says, at length.

"Yes, I did."

"No you didn't. Your wallet and credit card are in the bedroom."

I shrug. "Okay, I guess I didn't."

She looks suddenly smug. "See? Don't try and trick me. I'm on to you."

"Yes dear."

The best part of it, of course, is that I *TRIED* to tell her...

Good story, Mike. I have your knife packed and ready but I want to verify your shipping address. I emailed you but have not got a reply. Please buzz me so I can get this knife into the air to you.
