oh my dha

[Gehazi]

would HI ever be interested in doing a run of traditional dha blades as described in the cantina thread about said knives? I really like the design but would like it more with a kami mark on it. this is yet another meandering thread to get people to try and make magic runs of knives happen, these rarely work as a warning! I would like both the giant sword ones and tiny knife ones, but with HI and kami marks

I just looked up what a Dha was, it looks like a powerful sword, and seems to come in a variety of shapes and sizes, it reminds me of the HI designs on their tibetan sword and katana. They're very decorative and beautiful. The blades on some of them remind me somewhat of the Chinese Dao sword. I would personally like to see more small knives like the Kumar Karda, but I'm sure I'm not the first one to suggest this, we all have our own ideas that we want HI to make.

I think any suggestions such as making those Dha swords could only happen if their current line of swords were selling well and the kami's were interested, as they would be quite expensive and laborious to make. The katana for example has its own Nepalese spin on it, and the Tibetan sword too.

there's a dha thread in the cantina for those who don't know what they are

i must confess to owning one or two...or...

lol your cantina thread is what made me want to beg the kamis for some dha, those blades are beautiful, love the style, and yea keikuru i would want a kami spin on it, I just prefer modern blades to be kami made

From a previous thread on the subject:

...a lot of folks have talked about a Dha but no one has come forth with a model and it hasn't been done. Uncle Bill used to say if we could get 6 takers for something and a model that he would try to get it made.
I don't know what Yangdu's policy might be.
You could email her and ask, be sure and send a picture along with your inquiry.

 

[Gehazi]

yeah already in that process, if necessary I will buy all 6 myself

It's only fair to HI and auntie to make a project worthwhile. I did the same thing on my Micro Mini AK Bowie inquiry. I figured I'd try to buy 10 or 12 myself if I can come up with the money. Give them away to a few of you fellas around here as some pay back even though you've refused it in the past. One for each son and son in law, with the guys here I'm not sure 12 is enough.

Aunties post the other day that Bhakta will try to make some more bowies filled my heart with joy. I'm hoping he'll take on the micro as well, Bhakta knows how to make a bowie. I'm sure the others could as well, I put down no Kami but Bhakta seems to have it down pat.
