Memorial Knife

[Yangdu]

To All my Dear Friends and Customers:
I am posting this picture to give you some insight into the background of this Salyan knife and the importance it played in Uncle Bill's life. From left to right in the picture are Govinda, his wife Sarita and Uncle Bill. The original knife was given to Uncle Bill by Govinda and was the beginning of Uncle Bill's interest in Knives and his desire to make available to anyone who was interested in knives the opportunity to purchase such Knives. The replica of this Knife will be available soon as the shipment arrives and I will let you know.
Thank you all for your continued interest and support of Himalayan Imports and Kamis.

I had no idea the Salyan was the model that sparked Uncle Bill's interest in these knives. That makes it even more special in my eyes. Thanks for the great picture and background Yangdu.

Dayumed close Brian, Dayumed close. Mine and the others I've seen pix of have a simalar wide butt cap, traditional bolster, and blade shape is the same although it looks better in hand.
The cho is the same and on the right side of the blade the word Salyan is inlayed in brass in the Devangari language.
I'm not sure if all of them will have the brass inlay in Salyan though.
Beautiful little knives, about 13" oal.
The only difference is that most I've seen have wood handles.
Did I say they were beautiful little knives?
