Just wondering why the BAS has a frog made of two loops as opposed to the single loop in the HI superfrog. I really like the way the mil-style hangs on my belt for causual wear around the house, but it seems like it might not be the most secure carry option for vigorous activity. Does the superfrog allow the khukuri to be carried higher on the belt? Is it more secure? What are your opinions/preferences?

I prefer the Super frog myself as I think it would last long...well at least 100 years!!!!:)
 
Casual wear around the house? :eek: :D

I think the superfrog is a little more formal. :) It goes better with a tie.
 
I find for casual around the house wear I like a 15" Sirupati. For a formal occasion, I might wear a Kothimoda. That might be a little showy I guess, but for those black tie affairs a man can't dress too well.
 
So, Uncle Bill (or anybody else)-- is it possible to retrofit a superfrog to a BAS sheath? If so, how would one go about doing it?

Don't have any scabbards with mil-frogs, the others can just be slipped off the pointy end of the scabbard. I usually do that to give the entire scabbard a couple of coats of neutral polish. The laces just adjust the fit. Too high on the scabbard and the tool slots may get squeezed too tight. If that happens, just slip the frog down, tighten the laces and try again. On couple I fitted leather shims because the fit was too loose, but not loose enough to punch another set of lacing holes. This stuff isn't high tech.

I bet the Sarki Shop would set up up with whatever you want in a modified leather sheath or leather/wood scabbard. Bill may have a superfrog around also.

And for dressier functions the scabbard in a waist sash or cumberbund is a sophisticated look.

To one skilled in the fine arts of leatherwork, I don't think it would be too difficult to make one. How do they sew that thick leather?

I don't know why but I prefer the BAS style frog too. I doubt you'd go wrong by having Terry make one for you.
 
C'mon guys. Formal attire requires a KORA worn across the back in a very fancy sheath and the carry strap across your chest...then you can stick the kothimora in your cummerbund.
 
"cum·mer·bund (kŭm'ər-bŭnd')
n.
A broad sash, especially one that is pleated lengthwise and worn as an article of formal dress, as with a dinner jacket.

[Hindi kamarband, from Persian : kamar, waist + band, band; see bund1.]"

Would ever have suspected that "cummerbund" came from the Hindi language?

Amazing world.

just amazing.

OK then, amazing to me. Again...it astonishes me the inter-connections we have with one another, language, behaviors, instinctual responses....even sounds.

OT, sort of: A study showed that mothers of babies made almost exactly the same crooning sound throughout the world, irrespective of their native languages.

Neat.

I've said for many years that all children no matter where they live all laugh and cry in the same language.
Children left alone will try to comfort another child that is crying so how could they not understand?

It's only what they learn from us so called grown-ups that screws up their mind's.:(
