( typical test scenario )

Khuk and tester start out in good shape.

Test begins.

Test ends. Resharpen Khuk.

Khuk basically unchanged. Tester out of commission for several weeks.
 
Unchanged except for the bigger smile on the khuks face!

Long winded or instead overly clinical in regard to your "problem", Jim?

Like I always told the Judge: "I'm not an expert witness qualified to pronounce this a duck, your honor. However, if you want to call the guy from Fish and Game I arranged to have here, ( and oh yes, btw be sure to put on the the ear muffs ). Remember the duck soup I made from the last fowlonious culprit?
 
As earlier mentioned in another thread, was to have staples in my leg pulled yesterday in Reno after being in 4 weeks. Didn't feel like making a 270 mile round trip breathing 02, so arranged to have local ( doc/dope/*^&$%#$XX ) remove them yesterday.

I'm told that staples are usually left in roughly week or ten days, with some exceptions. Went in yesterday, the (unprintable) did the deed, and then informed me to make an appointment next Wednesday to take the other half of the staples out. Seems he didn't want to pull ALL of them and have the wounds held together pull apart ( after 28 days???? ) I did make that appointment, but later called and told the receptionist to "reschedule it for a cold day in hell" and ship my file to the doc across the street.

Am contemplating a trip to hardware store. The toenail clippers get dinged up and don't cut the staples well... but I see the other doc Monday and may cool off and let him do it-

So what does this all have to do with khukuries? Simple. Had I taken one with me to the doctors office a good slam with the side of the blade against the top of a desk would have reset the appointment back to step one.

Thanks to you and the other forumites, this forum is indeed turning me into a kinder gentler me. Thank you all.

Before HI I'd have taken my extended mag riot gun and Uzi in with me to negotiate a solution with them.

Rusty:

Sounds as though you and I share the same fawning, desperate respect for the saints of the medical profession. (Called "practice", once they're let out among the public)

"Guillaume Barre Syndrome" - In the first two days after I was diagnosed as having this (not explained, just diagnosed) I was visited by no less than eight (8) Drs. I had never met, who came to my room to extol their services and "accessory treatments" which would aid my condition. I collected seven different spellings from them, eight "room visit" billings on the hospital bill (I asked Blue Cross to bust the charges - don't know if they did) and no explanation of the condition.

Finally got a source of info from a therapist almost a year later, and found there is only one treatment (plasmaphoresis - blood filtering - which must be done early, within a couple of days of onset.) My "appointed" neurologist (now without a med liscense) said there was a very new and risky procedure which he would not authorize. It was the same thing, and the Univ. Hosp. in Lexington had been doing two to ten a day for the past four years. With luck, I finally found a couple of good ones who saved what bacon was left.

What has this to do with Khuks?? I didn't have one, that's what!!! The situation got so dodgy at one point that two unamed offspring of mine were trying to unload my gun cabinet for a trip to town, but if I had had one little 12", the hospital would have needed a whole new wing for their new transplant business.

I don't rank Drs. with politicos, quite, but I am convinced that 98 out of 100 are making nice livings off the reputations of the two who know what they're doing.

I feel all better, now

Who was it that said that "90% of the politicians give the other 10% a bad name..."

With doctors it only takes 10% to give the rest a bad name.

Well, it's a small town here in Hawthorne, and the secretary for the county public works and her hubby on the school board ran me to the hospital and back this weekend, so I think I'll pass some of this on to them.

I give the news 4 hours for 75 percent coverage and 24 hours for as close to total as it gets.
 
Doc, what you need is a good carpenter.

Imagine an office desk with a 3/4" bullet resistant glass top covering a display area the length and breadth of the top, 4 or 5 inches deep with something like jola material lining the bottom 3/4th of the display and the last 1/4 taken up with sharpening implements. Hanuman, Banspati, UBE, 18" WWII, 20" Sirupati, 18th Century, Kora, Sanu Forward curving with forged in engraving, all laying there unsheathed, polished, and all of course sharpened to the Nth degree ( course an 18" x 24" print of the beheading of a buffalo on the front of the desk might be a bit tacky )...

Another variation of a desk I've had occur to me ( client's chair bolted down front and center so it can't be moved of course ) is your standard hardwood office desk but after a trip to your local gun parts dismantler. Get a bunch of useless throwaway over/under and side by side barrels, chop to 1 1/2" lengths, reblue, and mount front beads. Then mount the barrel stubs convincingly in the desk front for claymore-shaped coverage and put a wired box with a glass covered switch on the right rear of the desk top... talk about the ultimate persuasion ( per Al Capone "it's easier to persuade a man with a friendly smile and a gun than with just a friendly smile." ) or power desk!

Say, you don't suppose there'd be a business opportunity here? If we combined the desk with an artistically aged stucco wall with holes behind the client's chair?

Why do I feel improvised incineraries and
expulsives figured prominently in your social
worker days

Don't you remember? They cut me off from them in the hospital a month ago and the doc who took over my old doc's practice regards them as VooDoo drugs.

I have a little list, they never will be missed... ( funny how fast it keeps growing
).

Hey Mohd, do you think the Dyaks would go for fresh frozen gourmet steaks and cuts? Sort of like the frozen Kansas City beefsteaks they pack in dry ice and mail all over ( other than these would be long pig )?
