pics of big-belly khukuris

Post a picture of your deep belly khukuri in this thread.

To qualify, the belly has to be over 2" deep - measured across the thickest part of the blade after[/] the bend, perpendicular to the spine.

I'll go first. I have a Bulldog Village model that I reviewed in an earlier thread. It has a 2.25" belly.

p.s. Bill Marsh = I know you've got one...

I have one of those too:

The Super Salyan.

20" Overall length.
12.5" Blade length.
3&3/16ths" Width at Belly.
11/16ths" Spine thickness.

No pics, but run a search on it. Maybe Howard Wallace's FAQ has one or another shot missed the Photopoint debacle.

I at least can get both hands on the grip boster to buttcap, but it's a bit big around the handle for a good grip.

Uncle Bill = any Super Salyans still hangin around?

Hey now!

I represent that!

It's a metabolism thing.

And I prefer "eccentric" if you don't mind.

Doesn't seem right to make fun of a guy for his slight weight gain and particular, but insightful, ideas..

You had to be:

1) There at the right time.
2) Demented enough to grab it.
3) Have the money.
4) Beat the feeding frenzy.
5) Accept that "it is therefore it has a purpose".

Sanity is overrated.
