That Hmong knife turned out very nice. There was talk of making one last summer during a visit.

Chokpa has to be up to something, nobody smiles that much. That Hasiya she's wearing seems like a natural fit, like it belongs there.
 
Chokpa is a beautiful model for HI! Makes me want to EMS for them all just cause shes barefoot! OK Ill wait and give you early birds a chance. Im a late bird so its only fair:D

What'ya doing up so late fer Bawanna?
 
Good one George! I aint very good at ballet and you wouldnt want to see that anywaz! Urrrgh:eek: Good snag man! Purna sure makes some great knives! I can vouch for that!
 
That Hmong knife is calling my name. I remember holding an actual Hmong knife from Yangdu's personal collection and it was love at first sight. It was a real fancy one. I seriously thought about trying to talk her out of it but I knew she wouldn't let it go and if I was her I wouldn't let it go either.

It was a bit smaller but similar in shape. Very cool.

Yea, I'm liking that Hmong knife too! I need to recover from my latest spending spree, so I'll have to let this one pass. Not a good feeling!

Never mind, I was looking at the wrong post. My bad!
 
That Hmong is calling me something fierce!!! Trying to be strong and resist. The Hasiya is really nice as well.
You guys remember the sheath with frog, I did for a Hasiya, it is the ultimate garden tool.

George, the farm knife is a large cleaver looking sucker. Looks really nifty.

The other blade missing a photo, the Villager Utility Knife, commonly known as a KLVUK, is an "unfinished" kukri. Generally still has the scale on it from forging, only shiny bits are from the edge being put on it. Generally an excellent buy, and snapped up as soon as its posted. Pure user, and I've seen nothing but good things said about it.

Thank you for taking your time to share! I love them both and recently bought a KLVUK. I absolutely love it!
 
I'd forgotten about that sheath Pugs but I remembered it clear as a bell the minute I saw the picture.

That's incredible.
 
Am I the only one buying something from these specials? Come on guys! This is why I want to promote H I however I can! I know I've bought at least 30 in less than 3 months. I'm out for a while.....I think? :/
 
We all don't have as deep pockets as you George. :p

Already bought over half a dozen HI blades in the last few months myself. I am completely tapped out you know...unless a lightweight M43 pops up...or another 18" Fox Folly....or a Thamar Tin Chirra....yeah....saving my non-existent pennies for one of those in case they pop up. ;)
 
I'm probably close to Ndog's pile now, basically got one or two of everything. I just go for rare items, limited item runs, or one offs, now.

Of course, if a lightweight crosses my path, that's an entirely different story.
 
Im looking for a farm knife to replace mine that was stolen but the one listed here with no picture is too pricy for me gotta wait
I'm in the 100 dollar range and honestly thats about what a forge scaled blade is worth, I love em like that raw and primal over all shiny chrome looking
