Special Request for Uncle Bill when he feels better

DannyinJapan · Nov 2, 2003

Several of us have fallen in love with the Hanshee, specifically, the Rod Allen hanshee. (I gotta have one EXACTLY like that, maybe with bone handle and silver fittings)
If it is possible, we'd like the kamis to make some for us.
Perhaps Rod can post one more pic of that beautiful weapon in this thread and everybody else who wants one, please reply with a big "ME TOO!"

Thank you

That's the one thing my collection lacks!

i think a possible request would be for a order of m-43/hanshee variants.

15 in sirupti's with long curved handles

Best way to get it done is to make a model. Without that (sometimes with that!) it's anyone's guess how the kamis will interpret something!

ME TWO!

I aint forgot, Uncle Bill, please give us some hanshee news!
(When you are feeling better, of course)

Toh has it right. If you can get 10 takers and a model it's a go.

Can someone come up with a model? Hope so, might be interested in one too!

MI TOO

The hanshee handle is a bit small for my hand. If this new proposal becomes a production, I'd love to see a 5" handle.

Well, Rod has the original. Feasibly, we could have Rod send them the original to copy, if Rod feels comfortable with something like that.
In any case we have about 6 or 7 takers right now, don't we ?

With what the kamis did to Jim March's Japanese Sword I wouldn't send them any kind of blade.

BUT, Rod could send it to Foxjaw and have him duplicate it in the same material he did the Berk Special in if he were comfortable with doing that.
Seems that khuk turned out okay, but I don't know how well they nailed the thickness. The HI kami's always want to thicken things up to much sometimes it seems.
Foxy said the Foxy Folly model was thinner than the khuk turned out so the khuk was heavier than intended as well. Still a beautiful piece well worth owning IMO though!!!!

What are the dimensions of that blade? It is a beauty and I will say ME TOO!! as long as it is 18" or longer and that it would look like that!!
