Send me your strange, unusual and downright odd khuks, yearning to be photographed

[beoram]

I am planning to update the 'Special Runs' page of the Khukuri FAQ (http://www.himalayan-imports.com/faq/Variants.htm ) and integrate it into the main HI site -- and am looking for more photos of unusual and one-off HI products.

thanks,
B.

p.s. any ideas of what I should call the page? 'Special', 'Past Models'...???

I smell a DUCK! "Send your khuks to me for RESEARCH" Someone has been compromised.


Trying to think of a good name. Something with "special" sounds about right.

"HI Specials - Rare, Unusual and Odd" might work.

- no actually I just meant photographs of unusual khuks, but if you want to send me the actual knives themselves I won't complain...

Beo,

The subtitle on the FAQ is pretty clear and concise.

Variants, Interpretations, Special runs

What would I do without Beo and Pen?

Speaking of Beo and Pen, who are doing a fine job on the site....

While I sure it's a little more work, could it be possible to keep the pages below a certain size? For instance the page with the kamis and the khuk-making sequence is a real bear for me to load. (modem) Things sem to time-out, and as well as taking a very long time, sometimes it takes a few tries to get the thing downloaded. People less stubborn than me may well give up and look at/do something else in frustration.

Firkin - I've been meaning to split the 'kami' page into 2 pages -- one on khukuri-making and the other as a 'biography' page. I'll do that now. Any other pages that are giving you difficulties? I think most of the other ones should be OK.

update: done - see thread: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=247793

Beo,

Wow, that's some faaaassst service!

Dunno about any other pages, I haven't gone through the site in a while. I'll let you know if I find any others. Thanks for the fine work.

It sounds like a cool project.

I have photos posted all over this forum. Use whatever you need and let me know if you need help finding something.
