Rare HI knives

[Dirtbiker]

A folder by HI let alone Bura is a rare bird indeed. One of one or maybe 2??

reading the posts it sounded like there was enough interest for a run of that number maybe as many as 6--- truly a collector's item.

seriously we have got to get some wild things going again! let sher or bhakta loose !

OMG-- lets see a modern bhakta folder

I could envision a Bawanna micro AKB folder with Nepali stag scales:thumbup: Maybe silver mounted with black horn scales!

I would get 4 if they were around.

I agree Gehazi, I can think of a number of folks who I would consider one a perfect Christmas gift for.

i was told this is a rare(ish) blade, a 12 inch 19 oz Bonecutter made by kami murali.

like a super pen knife, love it.

[Gehazi]

I think sher and kumar could both manage what it takes to make a folder

Got intrigued by this one.

KUMAR SUPER CHIRUWA ANG KHOLA
Overall length --18''
Weight --42 oz
Spine thickness --1/2''
Satisal wood white metal combo handle
White metal guard, Brass bolster, Brass and white metal buttcap, Standard leather scabbard,

Added to my ever-growing collection at $235. Looks better on picture...
Let me correct, it looks far better on picture.

Ya beat me to this one and I'm still sour about it. If I'm not mistaken this was offered as an extenuation to another dotd and I didnt bother to read the whole thread until it was too late.

Good get. I hope they make more with that stocky handle type.

I was a bit skeptical about whether a folding micro bowie could be feasible while keeping the same blade width, so I did a rough sketch of the concept (starting by tracing a photograph of my IBBB, keeping the same blade width, and adding maybe a half inch to the overall length of the original batch). Now I'm a believer!

 

[moparsbob]

I would be so in for one or more of these!

 

[philllll]

Awesome design, Steve!

 

[ndoghouse]

Man thats a whole new generation of Khul Steve! The drop you have in the handle is perfect.

 

[cul4u01]

Nice drawing Steve, hopefully we'll get a run of them going.

 

[Steve Tall]

Thank for the compliments, guys. There are a bunch of design details that would still have to be worked out.
