Uncle, I was wondering if the cast models made it to Nepal ok. If so, have you received any feedback? Just being nosey, it's my nature.
Adios, stevo
 
Foxy is busy in his molding hut and tells me he will have one her in time for Pala to hand carry it back. I wonder if Pala will get busted for carrying a rubber khukuri. Rememeber, I got busted for carrying the Khukuri rum bottles.
 
I'm working on a Berks nice big 23" dui chirra. I'll have it to Pala before he goes. Just taking a little longer than expected as I botched the resin pour and have extra finishing to do. The Kamis should have no problem making a great khuk from the resin copy however.
 
I need to start working on developing my "spare tire", cause in a few months my geroceries are going to dissapear from my pantery and my bed room is going to misteriously fill with kuks.;)

But they might try to "improve" on the model. It's out of date.

Uncle, if you can, please ask Pala to take the model directly to Bura, and deliver it with this message: "Oh Royal kami of the twenty-first century, we bring you this weapon from your grandsires of the nineteenth century. We ask you to honor them by making this knife exactly as they did. THIN blade. NO habaki bolster. NO cho creep. We know it is not what you would make - we ask you to make it as they did. If it breaks, we will not blame you. Any fault will be ours. But this knife has survived for over a hundred years, just as it is. If you can duplicate this knife, we will be filled with delight at what you have done."
Namaskar Pala, Bura, and Uncle,
Berkley
 
Pala's translation: Bura, make this goddamned knife exactly like this or you'll be missing a cajone -- or two.
 
Pala seems to have a gift for diplomacy :D

Reminds me of a crude ditty i heard in high school, way too many years ago:

There was a man from Madras,
Whose balls were made of Brass,
In stormy weather they clonked together,
And sparks came outa his ass...

Sounds like the garage that I worked in about 2 years ago over the summer.

My favorite story is:

On day one of the mechanics walked in at 8am, 2 hours late, and while I was BS-ing with the 3 managers, he loaded up his box in the back of a flatbed he rented. The managers, all 3 of'em, walked over and said "Chris, what the he!! do you think you're doing?"
To which he replied, looking each one in the eye one after the other, "F- you. F- you. and F- you." then he walked to the flatbed and drove off, never to return.

One of the funniest things I have ever seen. Still wondering what he quit over. Needless to say, I got double shifts that week and was working on overtime by wed. I still remember the paycheck...ahh yes...memories. ;) :rolleyes:

BTW...if any of yall are interested in how to make, or what prison tatoos mean...e-mail me. ;)
 
The kamis never quit like that. They cry and tell sob stories about their sick and dying parents, kids, etc., borrow as much money as Pala will loan and then disappear in the night.
 
More than once there has been the straw that broke the camel's back, I have packed the tool box and flew the bird the the boss on the way out the door. That being said I have never been without a job for more than 48 hrs. My father telling me that I had to learn a trade was most likely the most important event in my life.
