Sadly our new kami marks are somewhat lacking and warty's pdf is missing bhakktas and Tej's mark. I would like to update my new kami mark post with some good clear pictures. Please, if you would be so kind, submit a picture to this thread and it will be considered for inclusion. Nice clear closeups of the mark and devangari initials will be much appreciated. I am posting this as a request for pictures, but also your permission to use them.

Pics are needed for the following:

Young Sher
Rajkumar
Tirtha
Bhakkta
Tej
Lok
Bal Bahadur
Shaila

Karda, I hope this helps. I left them full sized. I also added Shaila. He wasn't on the list, but is kind of new/old returned:), and he makes a mean B-43:D. Feel free to use them. Take care and thanks.

Tirtha

Shaila

Yes, i had forgotten shaila......Thank You jdk1 !
If anyone finds others i've forgotten please advise and submit them also.
When we get a few posted here, i will edit for size and start updating.
 
Here's a better shot of mine, which you had identified as Bal Bahadur. I will get a shot of the initials as well.

Cheers,
Dan

You can get full size by clicking on this picture to go to my webshots and then clicking the magnifying glass below the image. Tried to paste that link, but they disallow that.

They are the intials U.B. for our dearly departed Uncle Bill Martino, Yangdu's late husband and co-founder of H.I. who passed away
in March,28,2005. All khukuri since that date have been marked with those initials in his honor. The letters below that are the Devangari initials for H.I., They are normally put at the bend of the khukuri on the right side of the blade.
 
Something else I was thinking was we should put together an acronym list - I'm somewhat new and I know some of them confuse me, and I'm sure they confuse many of the brand new people. by that, I mean;
AK= Ang Khola
CAK = Chiruwa Ang Khola
GRS = Ganga Ram Special

There are still plenty of them that I don't know what they mean.

Bill said the khukuris were like the leaves on the trees.

I've given up trying to keep track.

Good point about the list though.

Your Welcome Karda. My gelbu was shipped out to have custom kydex sheaths made & I don't have a picture of Young Sher's mark
 
I'm not sure how many Lok and Tej pieces are out there...
As soon as i can get a good clear picture of Young Shers mark, i will update the kami mark section.
 
I will email the Gentleman who has my Gelbu & see if he can email me a picture of Young Sher's mark (sideways mug similar to Tirtha's). More than likely he wont be able to do this until sometime tomorrow, so someone may beat me to it which would be great because you can actually get the list together sooner.

No worries paulie!
If i can get the batteries for my camera to charge up, im going to try to take a pic of young shers mark on my tear-drop fuller sirupate. We will have to see how that goes, as i'm not the best at photography. FWIW, young shers mark isnt a sideways mug, it is a madal drum.
