Patience and fortitude, plus a lot of asking around. Many are from shows in England, auctions here and abroad and even eBay. That's the way I find many of my khukuris too.

These are not all Nepalese. The 3rd from the left is Tibetan, far right is probably from Bhutan and second from the right is Indian.

Good stuff, John. I knew anybody who could land on a carrier could post a pix.
