Sorry, bro - I didn't get it until after lunch.

Here's another version with the lighting adjusted, etc.
(helps you see the detail in the handle/blade better)

Very nice!

Nice khuks!

Those older ones with the graceful curve through the handle sure are pretty.

Good pix and thanks. I like that top model.

hi uncle Bill,well I wasnt going to part with the top one, but I guess that if you realy like it maybe Id trade it for a salyan?
what would an expert like you say of my khuks age,origins,style etc.?
also is it possible to have a khuk sent straight from Nepal as postage X 2 gets prohibitive?
best wishes spiral

I'll be happy to add it to my home for retired khukuries.

Yes. And the middle one. And the bottom one.

If only the kamis would make a couple like these. (Actually, the Berk special probably qualifies.)

Let me think about the trade.

About shipping direct. A fellow from India logically thought it would be best to ship direct from neighboring Nepal. He ordered a standard BAS and WWII and prepaid to Nepal. It took him a year and a half to get the knives. They can't even get my address right. Forget the shipping direct. It doesn't work.

Guess it seems logical only to those who don't live in Nepal...

I'd have thought that someone from India might of had an inkling of the situation though.
