Precautions/sanity

Previously I kept all the little darlings together. In a back corner of the closet.

Have now got 2/3rds back into the shipping boxes, sealed, tucked away. Hopefully will not suffer same fate as others when their S.O. made a discovery. Will find another box and pack a few more away later.

One less disaster in the making to worry about,

Rusty, I have another solution.
Send them to me and I will store them for you. (VBSEG)

(I know,I just know that has to be Very Big Evil etc.Grin.) hehehe.

I am covered on what's here,but I am not sure the S.O. knows what all is coming.Hopefully the Banspatis and Ganga Ram Specials will both be together in this shipment.

Hey !!!
I forgot.Uncle said something about some of the CBCK coming too.

Looks like I am going to make some more Khukuri hooks.

Just had a thought.How about a real nice piece of wood,nicely figured,
and a strip of well polished carved leather.Space some nice brass or nickle belt holders at the proper intervals.It would be like a solid ammo belt with a place for each Khukuri in it.Hmmm.Lots of possibilities in this.)

Khukuri FAQ


 
Dream away, Mike.

My wife has appropriated the space under the bed as storage for all the things that should be thrown away that she can't bring herself to toss. Should I create a small niche under my side of the mattress for a few pieces of personal safety equipment ( 19" chainpur handled sirupati, a riot gun, a scoped tactical precision rifle, uzi, FN self loading rifle...) inside a week I'd find seven cubic feet of knicknacks packed in and around them til it took 20 minutes to get anything out.

------------------
Would argue with a signpost.

 
You have a little more personal safety equipment than I do, Rusty. I only have a Sig-Sauer P220 and a WW Khukri within reach.
I guess I could stash my Sirupati under my pillow, but the S.O. might think strange things about it when she makes up the bed.

When John Powell visited Yangdu dragged some of the khukuris out from under the bed to show him and there were a couple that looked like strangers to me it had been so long since I'd seen them.

That's one advantage of keeping the khukuris under the bed. Like old pals meeting after many years.

Well, you all know that I make no excuses regarding my sanity.

I like to have as many khukuris as possible on display and ready to be handled.
I guess it's all a matter of logistics and
allotment. And living alone.
There are 99 pieces on the walls and besides being total eye candy, it's like living history.
Even when my SO is here she admits to being (slightly) impressed while still firmly believing I am way over the top with these things.
She really can't complain however since I don't don't comment on her hobby: spending money.

How you make your passions known is part of who you are. At the same time, we need to be sensitive to those close to us. Something of a conundrum!

Since I only have one Kukuri, I'm not in exactly the same boat (yet) as the rest of you. Although I have similar experience in hiding handguns; they've been my passion for about 10 years now (I know I know just a babe in the woods), and I've gotten pretty good at exposing my wife to them (Noooo not like that).

What I do is buy 'em, clean 'em, fondle 'em, and hide 'em. I've found the best way to hide them is in a box (not the shipping box, like an egg box that you can get from your grocery store.) Put a layer of old paycheck stubs, and research materials (i.e. old guns magazines) on top, and the real treasure on the bottom. After I've had the weapon for about 6 months I start getting more casual with it, let her see it and when asked tell her "I've had this one quite awhile". Of course it helps we've only been married a couple of years, and that I'm a packrat by nature and training.

BTW can anyone translate the following?

Ghost, that's why you are such a valued member of this forum. To use sanity and HI members in the same sentence is obviously oxymoronic. Once attention has been called to it, that is. But you noticed it when no one else did. Thanks.
 
Interesting post, Jim. I like your method.

Rusty, insanity is a matter of definition. We are all nuts in one way or the other. We just display it more blatantly here in our forum. You know, "birds of a feather...."

Steve Martin and Robin Williams would fit right in here.
 
Macondas method is pritty much the way I do it too. Leave the new knife or gun in the car or garage for awhile till it at lest starts to lose that brand spankin new look then gradually bring it out into veiw. It's worked for me for years.Ether that or she has just given up and accepts the fact that I'm a blade junkie.
 
macondas....the French phrase looks like it should mean: 'Take me as I am.' (if my French- Canadian childhood memories can be trusted, at all, at all.) Hope it helps. slabsides
