Personal HI Collection

Is it that you can't tell which Kami made the DOTD ones? I think I can help with this if you want me to...

I would actually like to get myself down to a dozen Khuks but the knives HI makes are many and still draw me.

You have a nice collection Bill, I like it and I hope you find your 12th.

The ones labeled DOTD have no markings and are so labeled to indicate they were bought from Yangdu on one of her special postings. The Chitlangi was purchased recently so I am certain of its source. However, I'm less sure about the 12" "generic".

Finding a 12th will be no problem. However, stopping at 12 raises serious issues involving willpower. :D

Thanks LC. If I ever wind up in debtors court I'll call you first. :D
 
Great collection Bladite! Is that khuk at the top of your last photo a 25" Kobra? If so, how does it handle. I've been interested in such a blade for quite a while.

Wow, beautiful HI knives all round. That 15" Bura Pen Knife is calling out to me though, I've definitely got to try out one of those.

Chitlangi is the Kami in that instance, they are not a usual supplier. Rather an independent who occasionally sells some through HI.
If you were to go back to the DOTD you received the other one from, I am sure you would find something similar and find your missing Kami.

Thanks warty. I may be able to track it down. :thumbup:
 
I think everyone has seen my collection ad nauseum by now so I will spare you all a re-post.
A simple search and you can see it I'm sure.

Nice stuff all and I'm glad Bladite dragged out the chest of goodies too. Nice stuff!

Uh ..... like a Swift Boat ..... or the Queen Mary? :D

Seriously, I've got a 20" Kobra and am considering adding a 25". I like the looks of your 30" sirupate a lot, but I'm not at all sure I could handle that much mass so far away from my grip. Just window shopping. ;)

I like that Pen too, HDW. Nice to see some of your goodies :thumbup:
 
Impressive collection ! Looks like I may be heading towards one myself. Thanks for sharing HDW.
 
I have a 25" Kobra... it is a lot of fun to use and seems well balanced...
I also have a 30" Sirupate, or is it Bladite's 30" I have now via another member?

That one is so nice and clean and shiny, I can't bring myself to use it but is seems to cut the air pretty sweet.
 
Hey Ugly Duck, you did it again. Still my favorite collection picture! I think it has something to do with that GCB in the middle
