OK, how many of you sleep with a khuk under the pillow or in reach of your bed?

Do you provide them company, say a 45 or Hi-Power or M&P? ( Question does not apply where prohibited or self incriminatory .)

Somewhere, a village is being deprived of an idiot.


 
There are some khukuri's under my bed. I will not say they are in easy reach though. At the least they are covered with a newspaper to keep the dust bunnies from eating them. Some are even in boxes.

Khukuri's are too pokey to have in the bed. A CS Shovel beside the bed might make a decent weapon.

I keep a khuk within reach of my bed, but for backup I also keep my duty weapon, a .357 S&W. I figure if the khuk don't stop'em or scare'em off, to hell with them -- the Smith will send them to God to judge.

I mounted my G.S.and Hanuman Special on the headboard of our bed.My little balance khuk and the CBCK

Other things are close at hand.
The Mossberg 500 12 guage is on Barb's side of the bed in the gun rack.
You oughta see her shooting that thing from the waist!!

Khukuri FAQ


 
I keep the "balanced" 12" khukuri on the nightstand next to me. My wife thought I was crazy. A couple of weeks ago, I caught a couple of teens in the house, after coming back from a run. I had a folder on me. Thankfully, no need as they ran. I chased one down and dragged him to his house to talk to his parents.

The 20" villager that I just recieved is my first "real" khukuri, and I hate being without it. So I decided that my khuk was lonely and needed to sleep in bed with me.

It stays right next to me with my tanto under my pillow and my baton on the table next to the bed.

I keep my BAS and 16.5 inch WWII on the headboard within easy reach. I think you guys can add me to the list of people whose wives think they are a bit crazy about knives. It takes a Blade Knut to know another Blade Knut though hehe

Add me to the list. I like having my 15 inch AK within reach, but am toying with the notion of getting a 15 or 17.5 inch Sirupati as the few days I had with my mother's Sirupati suggest that this would be a better bedside defence weapon.

I have a CS kukri (did i say a bad word) under my matress with the handle sticking out so if my arm draps over the side i can grab the handle. my wife knows where and how as well - also a mossberg in the bedroom and a shambak - indian whip - its really cool

My 20" Village Chainpuri/Shortsword is within easy reach as is my "escrima bag" which holds 6 pairs of sticks including one pair of heavy rattan and one of hardwood. There are also assorted knives, like my Spyderco Endura nearby.

My wife doesn't think I'm nuts though ... she KNOWS it!

Dave.

P.S. It's almost Christmas, but I do NOT have visions of sugar plums dancing in my head. It's a matched set of 20" Sirupatis and a 12" Sirupati (to match the 20 inchers), with carved wood handles. Imagine a crazed, screaming, maniac coming down the hall towards you (you're an intruder by the way) with a pair of 20 inchers or a 20 and a 12 whirling through the air ... home defense by Vegomatic!!

Sing you are a brave man. Glad things turned out O.K.

I forgot to mention, the khukuri's have for company, a WWII coincidence range finder, a suitcase, and a TX200 HC air rifle.

Out of curiosity is having a weapon near where you sleep a required practise where you live? From Sing's comments it seems to be a good idea. It is pretty tame here.

Bill,

I wish I can say it turned out to be sweet and hunky dory. After getting there, the father looked and acted like he wanted to attack me. I said, "look I didn't call the cops. I just want you to know that your kid broke into my house." I left quickly because I didn't want to get into it with the father and rest of the family as well. Going back, a neighbor of theirs "suggested" I call the cops and make a report lest they filed a report on me for "assault of something." I called the cops to make a report so it's on record. The cop who showed up was angry at me because I didn't want to press charges (I had promised the kid I wouldn't if he took me to his house.) Said he couldn't make a report and I was not letting him do his job. I said I understand, that I didn't think he was being derelict and that it was my choice, etc, etc, Anyway, I thought the kid acted more honorably than his father who didn't seem to give a darn about what his kid did. The father had asked the kid whether I had hurt him. The kid looked at me and said, "No."

The Chinese believe bad things come in three. I will say that one incident was one of three that happened in a matter of weeks. I am normally not superstitious. But, I am glad it's all over with (I hope as I knock on wood....)

Harry (Kozak),

That's a good one. I'll have to remember that one.

Will,

Where I live now is fairly tame, though a local girl was abducted less than 2 miles from my house. She was raped and later released not far away, as I recall. That's kinda unusual for this area so people are especially upset by it. However, I lived in Washington D.C. (not far from one of the roughest areas) for several years before moving here to get away from that crap. Old habits die hard though so I always keep something at hand.


Respectfully,

Dave.
 
I have a WW2 next to my bed, so if a kid breaks into my house and I feel my life is in danger I can hand the dad his "KID" back in pieces !!!!!!

Sing, as a cop for a number of years, I can tell you that most of the problems we have with kids today is because of parents like the father you dealt with. You wouldn't believe some of the parents I've encountered -- especially in recent years. For example, just recently I was dispatched to a family fight to deal with a 16-year-old girl who was beating up her handicapped mother (in a wheelchair) while the father just stood by in a panic because he didn't know what to do. When I got to the residence I was surprised to see that the father was about 6'2" and heavily built -- obviously physically able to control the situation, but unwilling to cross his daughter.
I could go on and on about idiot parents, but I know this isn't the place for it -- sorry about the ranting.
