The alternative to continuing to learn is to die.

Come to think of it, the number of brain dead people I deal with lately seems to be rising.

Fortunately, guns and khukuris seem to deter at least some of the brain dead. Apocryphal, but true and documented, is the story of a Ruger salesman and his girlfriend pursued by a disturbed in some sense biker. His last words on seeing the ac556 in the salesman's hands were: "_ _ _ _ you AND your machine gun."
 
I just got one of the CS assegais ( the short shaft)from mike's sale.
The first thoughts were."That's nasty!" and "Guess what's going next to the nightstand."
I'm going to put leather on the end and burn in some cross-hatching near the base of the socket. At 37 1/2"oal with 13 1/2" of that edge, it feels very quick and manuverable in my hands.
A note: if you get one of these get the scabbord that goes with it or make one of your own. That's 27" of edge you've got there!

Does anyone ever throw their khukuris? I've thrown my villager a couple of times and it usally sticks. Although I got a bad cut on my palm from the buttcap once.

I don't think he had it set to single or triple tap(burst), Jay.

My Assegai and my Two-Hand are now the same length - 58 inches. The dimensions are just reversed. One has a 13 inch blade and 45 inch handle, the other has a 13" handle and 45 inch blade.

BTW: I just happened to think of this.

Eat your heart out, Jim March.

Not only do I live in a shall-issue state:
a) local judge #1 shoots a Les Baer, and;
b) local judge #2 MAKES my carry leather.

( Sometime I'll tell you about the time my gunsmith brought me roses. Had to ask directions at the Tribal Hall to find my office. )ROTFLMAO ( and I can't get up! )

Hello forumites.
Just came back from outstation - anybody can give the url to assegai that touch about it's origin & historical ackground?

Malaysian have what they called as tombak or lembing as it's equivalence - sometimes their blades have a shape of Keris!

It will be very easy to do a home invasion in Malaysian villages!!! - you know why? - our villages folks normally keeps their house door open during daytime!

NEPAL HO!
 
There was a time, mohd, when folks here didn't bother locking their doors either. When I was a kid, nobody even considered the possibility of something like a home invasion. We lived in the country and during warm weather the windows and doors were always open, day and night. But sadly, times have changed -- perhaps it would be more correct to say that people/society has changed. It seems that while our technology is advancing, human beings are becoming less civilized.
 
When I was growing up in SE Kansas we didn't have a key to our house. I didn't use a housekey until I was back from the Navy, out of college, and on my first job at Boeing in Wichita. I got my first housekey then - 1956. Home invasion, you gotta be kidding.

Khukuri FAQ

 
Mohd, I briefly scanned a site you might want to check out, though you probably already have it:

http://www.vikingsword.com/ethsword/index.html

The above is the link to the "Ethnographic Edged Weapons Resource Site". It's reference section only covers tuareg and berber ( both north african ) swords, so far. It does, however have a forum.

http://www.vikingsword.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000045.html

That's the link to the "African Spear Classifications???" thread.

Oriental Arms has posted on HI Forum a couple times. They might know more info if we can find them.

And I'm still interested in the keris. A couple people have directed me to Cecil Quirino at Kris Cutlery for keris and spears that are not on their web page - apparently he searches out some good stuff not make by their company.

http://invis.com/kriscutlery/index.html

I doubt we have time left to browbeat Uncle Bill into getting the kamis to do spearheads ( I'm still drooling over the khanjarlis ) but a little sweet talk never hurt.

Rusty

Try, try again. The links now all three work. I hope.

On the idea of home invasion... Well my home was almost invaded this evening. Our next door neighbor who has... problems... decided that it would be a good idea to break a crap load of windows tonight. The only bad part of this notion was that two of the windows involoved were the ones in our front doors. Quite an awakeing from the dull hum of the computer.

It is a good thing that I did not have to test just how well my new 20" sirupati would fare against flesh. I am glad that it did not come to that.(I would have to clean up the hall even more than I already did as it was there was a lot of glass) With kukhri in reach and wife on the phone to 911 I waited to see If It was going to become more than just a mild fit of stark raving madness. I guess that it is a good thing that i do live so close to a dunkin doughnuts. Within minutes there were at very least 9 officers of the law on our porch escoting the nice lady(troll like but not that bad... Okay she was that bad, worse.) To her nice comfy bounce room. They probally helped her with her huggy jacket. I am glad that I put the money that I was going to use to buy a 1911a towards my kukhri. I perish the thought of what could have happened had she entered the house and threatend the life and well being of my family.

Well I think that I hear a stiff drink calling my name..."yes Mr. Walker. I hear you keep talking and I'll find you..."

Nothing says love quite like a sharp knife... Now if my wife only believed that.
 
Matt: I bid you peace, and whatever kind of blessings comfort and sustain you. I hope your wife is, or will be, ok. Sleep the sleep of the just tonight. Be glad, etc.

What this brings to my mind is the question - less lethal blows. Does any school teach like breaking a limb with a blow of the knife's spine? We tend to think in extremes black or white, kill or not kill, when many situations are grey, or need to be taken up an escalating ladder of force.



------------------
Ma'am, I DID NOT call you an unfit mother.
The judge did that in this court order.
 
Thank you for the kind wishes and blessings. Yes Rusty there is at least one school that teaches non-leathal blows. You know the one that we can't mention. The famous wacking of the flat side of the blade is actually a great one. Using the pommel there is another. Wish I could say more.
