Fire & wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky,
but Crom is your god, Crom & he lives in the earth.
Once giants lived in the earth, Conan... & in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, & they took from him the enigma of steel.
Crom was angered & the earth shook... & fire & wind struck down these giants, & threw their bodies into the waters...
But in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel, & left it on the battlefield...
& we who found it are just men..
not gods . not giants .. just men.
The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan.
You must learn its discipline; for no one .. no one in this world can you trust ..
Not men, not women, not beasts ..
This, you can trust.
Here's my Himalayan Import M-43 khukuri in it's sheath. I slipped on a Maxpedition Janus pouch that I had no use for until now. It slipped over the khukuri sheath real tight, in fact, it was kind of a pain in the aspercream to get it on, but that's a good thing. It won't slip off during use.
In the pouch....
A small med kit of my design
Tinder - paraffin coated cotton balls
EXOTAC nanostriker XL
EZE diamond rod sharpener
A small bottle of Rem Oil
& a ColdSteel Konjo II for a companion knife.
I braided 50' of paracord around the bottom half of the sheath & pouch.
& here it is chillin with Elvira; the name a forumite, from the M-14 Forum, gave my M1A.
This post was intended to be more pic heavy, but these 3 are the only ones that were under 2MBs. I had some comparison pics of the M-43 with my Carbon-V ColdSteel khukalike & me wearing my M-43, bandoleer style, but the pics are too big. I'll try to get them reduced & post them in a reply to this thread.
P.S. --- kami mark looks like the 6 pointed Jewish Star.
