looking for a website

[Samuel]

Hey Gang,

While browsing for kerambit pictures yesterday, I stumbled across a website that had bladed kali sticks for $300.00 a pair. Basically, they were normal sticks with convex shaped blades attached on one of the ends (which you could either hit with or use as the punyo). I can't find it today. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Thanks.

Those sticks are a Szabo creation. You can find them here.

HighDesert and Leo, thanks for your replies! The ones I was referring to are in the picture Leo posted.

I'd prefer those with a 1" sharpened "skull crusher" for the punyo.

...Also trying to figure out why those Szabo sticks cost $300.

Samuel,

I posted some pictures of kerambit training on our school's website.
The URL is http://www.geocities.com/indianamartialarts
Click on Pics and then the Mike Casto section.
Thanks

A pointed (rather than sharp) punyo might indeed be a better option. Maybe I'm too much of a klutz, but those blades look like a self-inflicted injury waiting to happen.

As for the price: as they say, if folks are willing to pay it, then it's worth it. I know I wouldn't, even if I had that kind of money laying around. (Nothing against Szabo - I'm a big fan of most of his creations.)
