Proof marks.

FW, I know it was a joke, and was based on deep and realistic knowledge bassis. Need not be bothered to add hee^2 that may disturb the elegance of your posts with sarcastic dry kind of humor I like.

Some katanas were certified to be "wazamono" by trials including corpse cutting only affordable to those who can afford it. Some of wazamono were entitled with '"N" trunk chpper' with proof by certified tester.
 
Some samurai swords were marked with how many prisoners it cut through in one stroke. I dunno about a prisoner test or corpse tests, but I don't think there will be objections to a maoist test. And I don't think they're will be a lack of volunteers for the quality control dept. at BirGorkha ;)
 
I think you're right about that. There has been more decapitations with khukuris in Nepal in the last 3 months than there has been in the last 100 years.

Not your average sales slogan.

Do the people in Nepal buy many HI khukuri's? (Policeman's choice for abjudicating maoist insurgency)


If I went to Nepal, could I bring back a bunch of HI blades? Do they sell local? A friend of mine suggested we go. ( I wonder if the CIA would offset my travel expenses in exchange for a few rolls of timely film?)

Locals can't afford HI khukuris. This is the reason we need many watchdogs in and around the shop. An HI khukuri brings top dollar at the local pasals.

The khukuris doing the head chopping are all village models so we can't generate any sales slogans from the recent Maoist hand work.

Strange -- I used to go anywhere in Nepal that I wanted, anytime, wandered around day and night with more cash in my pocket than most Nepalis earn in a year and never worried for a second.

Things change.
 
I bet you wouldn't do that around Reno, either. Here in the small hole where I live you could carry large sums of cash and not worry. People still leave their doors unlocked and keys in their trucks.

I guess there's still a few places left like that, Munk. I grew up in one. We didn't have a key to the house.
 
Would you believe I grew up in Orange County in the 60's and we didn't lock our doors? We even went on vacation with our doors unlocked.

What has happened to our world? Can anyone tell me in one simple way? I don't get it. It is like a contagion has swept the globe.

There are drawbacks to living in the sticks...the money is less..so here I am with kids and one on the way and I don't get to buy all the khukuris I want. A good trade.

There definitely are tradeoffs for choosing to live out here in the sticks (I prefer to call it "God's Country"), but I wouldn't have it any other way.

My wife & I could move to Seattle and make 50% more money than we do here, but we could never come close to our present quality of life.
