Sleeping On A Bed Of Nails Is Child's Play!

The above represents the hazards of HIKV.
This poor soul purchased his first HI khukuri on 5/3/00.

THIS CAN HAPPEN TO YOU!!!

If only I could get some good lighting in that room, but the overhead is anemic and the sun's not cooperating.

If the blades came out looking okay, it's through no fault of my own.

Blues. Could you list what each one is? Its nice to see a comparison picture of a lot of different types (it will make my future purchases easier though probably more numerous).
 
Sure, Josh, be glad to. Hope you don't mind my little commentary next to the ID.

Starting at top and working down:

21" Ganga Ram Special (Bura) (Beast of the East)

18" Silver Mounted Gelbu Special with carved handle (Bura) (Nicest of all my khuks)

18" WWII (Kesar) (Great wood handle)

16.5" WWII (Prakash)(Best grip of all)

15.5" BAS (named "Unknown Soldier" as kami unknown) (Excellent all around khukuri)

18.5" Kumar Kobra (Kumar)(Deadly Fast)

17" Sirupati with faux Chainpuri handle/habaki bolster (Sanu) (Stout Yet Seductive)

15" Sirupati (Sanu) (Greased Lightning)

12" Sirupati (Sher)(Mini Sledge Hammer)

CBKC (Very pretty if less useful)

Kumar Karda (Razor sharp utility blade)

That's enough out of me.

You are correct, BluesSahib.

Great photo, Howard.

Let me know when you need me to act as your straight man again!

Blues,

Thanks for sharing your collection. I'm going to end up with one as large, I just know it.

I feel so helpless.

Blues:
A magnificent collection...admirable for its variety and quality alike! The fancy Gelbu is really the alpha star of your khukuri constellation. Thanks for showing it to us all.
I have examined Howard's photo very carefully, and am convinced that he is floating at least a half-inch above the points of those nails!

Blues,
I agree ABOUT THE 18" KUMAR,"IT'S DEF. FAST" , it's one of my fav! I also realize you have HIKV (VERY BADLY), for "that beautiful collection" of yours i might consider just giving up & getting HIKV!As
I've posted in the past" you have excell. taste"!

Blues,
Definitely one of the nicest collections of HI khukuris I've seen. Don't you think a kothimoda would round it out nicely, though...?

Thanks all for the many kind words. I wasn't trolling. I just took the pic as kind of a lark and for a few laughs. All the same, thanks.

Ray,

Berk,

Don't give Uncle Bill any more ideas!!!

By the way, Howard's too modest to brag about this, but I came across some other old pictures of Howard gracing magazine covers over the years:
