CRESCENT MOON SIRUPATI BY VIM BHADUR KAMI AT BARGAIN PRICE!!!!!

History:

This is the original double handled Sirupate used by the Goorkha’s in Battle until the around the 1850’s, the last known one to be made was around 1929, and Tora was the first company to reproduce this amazingly curved kukri for the general market. It was known in the west until recently as a Hanshee, however that has proven to be incorrect, the Nepalese word Kupree is more appropriate. These khukuri have to be seen to be believed, they are not only beautiful to look at, but very effective for the job they were designed for.

Happy Thanksgiving Day to all!
 
Man I wish I could get one of those. I need to be smarter and set aside an HI fund for these special offers.
 
Yangdu- you put these blades on sale?
Whata nut.
She's been telling me about a blade she figured she'd blow out.

Yangdu- these blades are exquistely beautiful. Did you consider selling them at a real price for a limited edition, more labor hours blade? I guess not.

No, I will not call these "Turkey Blades." These are Yangdu's Thanksgiving Specials. They are very Special, and this is Thanksgiving, where we give thanks for what we have, and give to celebrate and affirm life. You've certainly done that with these blades, Yangdu.

Say something good about them? grmble &!a_++?!! That's not hard. They look alive like snakes. Each bent with impending motion. You know it takes artists years to put 'motion' into a still picture, and these blades have that. I'd say HI has some artists working for them.

Absolutely wonderful.

Thank you, Yangdu! For providing us with such a great product and giving us great service! You're a gem among people. Those blades are spectacular.

Munk, that post right there ALMOST made me forget the wrath my wife would dish out should she see any money out of our bank account this month go toward anything other than bills, food, and presents for the family. What gorgeous blades! They truly look alive. I'm hoping to be caught up after the new year enough to start splurging on myself a little here and there. I'm going to have to start storing a rainy day fund in a Khukie Jar somewhere. I love my wife, and she supports my HI habit quite happily...except at the holidays. Sometimes I think I need to check which list of Santa's she's really on:grumpy::D
There are going to be some really lucky folks that get these:thumbup:
 
Yangdu, these look very interesting. For a Thanksgiving Special - might be hard to carve a turkey with one of these.

Yangdu just wrote to me these blades will not be offered again. They are a once only limited edition.

HI has lost too much with ambitious projects. Some of them, like the Almost Masterpeice I reviewed here, needed changing. Others were ignored. Worse, she's sent prototype blades off to various people. Would you believe there are actually HI blades that were sent never to be seen again? Simply gone. No feedback.

Even if it's bad, or not what we hoped- as when I reviewed the Masterpeice, we learn from it. Yangdu has never been afraid of change or 'constructive critiscism." She wants to make her product the best there is.

HI succeeds in this many more times than not, and we've taken HI accomplishments for granted so long we've unconsciously receded into not giving HI the credit it deserves.

Who has a great guarentee? HI.
Who has sold more blades, and brought Nepalee culture to more people than any other business? HI
Who has done more to introduce the khuk to the West? No one - HI.

Who listened to us and returned the traditional bolster? HI
Who listens to us and responds? HI

Who continues to offer more models, more deals, more value for the money than any other seller? HI. Yes, there are companies that offer decent and even beautifull khuks. When they get to where HI is, and have sold tens of thousands with the relatively low failure rate, I'll give them a nod of acknowledgement. We tend to overblow and react to an HI disapointment. Nepal has ups and downs. Hell, even Smith and Wesson has ups and downs. ( I own a Bangor Punta Smith and Wesson....)

But HI hangs in there year after year. Trying, Delivering. Helping.

I give thanks for my HI kukris. They accompany me through the woods and the years. They give great value and pleasure to my life. My sons will inherit them someday, and as they grow older, each will get the model close to their ability and size.

Yangdu is feeling the special projects have drained HI too much. We will not see these blades again. This is it.

Finally get the "Hanshee" many have cried about for ten years and they are still sitting here for sale at 125

I paid 150 for a Kumar hanshee 4 years ago that was not as sleek as these.

Still love HI.

AH- Nutz!!! if only it werent so close to the holidays....
and i hadn't been at work when these showed up.:(

these are truly beautiful works of art.
hopefully we'll be able to see these again one day.
 
well i guess i shouldnt even hoped that one of those would still be left when i got my paycheck tomorrow :/
 
those are some beautiful blades. like most of the others in this forum, way too close to the holidays and the medical bills are coming in from my sons surgery :(

Otherwise I would have tried to snag one of those up and put it in a place of honor in my hacienda.

I can see both the pros and cons to special projects. HI puts out a wonderfull series of blades, each is special in it's own right but if Yangdu feels the projects are not benefitting HI then so be it. I would rather see this company around for a while putting out high quality Kukris then going under trying to manufacture custom kukris that may or may not go apperciated.

To Aunt Yangdu and the Kamis and other workers of HI I give a thumbs up for all they have accomplised

To the forumites I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving
