The first HI hasiya. Pix and deal.

I can send in a yari model in a few weeks- I believe I wouldn't put the guards on, as it would raise the price past what many could afford.
 
:
Dave depending upon the degree of finish wanted on the finished product the guards may not raise the price all that much.
If they're desirable to have then by all means put them on if it isn't too much trouble.

And the finish on anything we want to have made is something to take into consideration no matter what it is being made.
Of course the khukuris and other knives most of us want highly polished, but would that be desired on a spear point or a
'Hawk?
Perhaps more of a matte or subdued finish may be more practical?
I think some of even the khukuri blades look much better with a flat finish, especially the big wide flat blades like the GRS.
I have the shine on my GRS's polished off with a fine Scotch Brite pad.

Anyone else prefer the flat
finish?

A spear a lot like the short spear that CS puts out. I think that would make a great thing to have around the house for uhhhhhhhh.....

SPEARING MICE! Yeah! that's the ticket!

You are a sick pup Matt!

In retrospect, I really could have used one for just that reason (except it was a rat) a few years back.

One night several years ago when I was doing extensively remodeling on this house a rat crawled over my ex wife's foot.
She let out a blood curdleing scream!!!!
The rat ran under the fridge.
And due to the remodeling I had the opening to the back of the bathtub open for access to plumbing.
I told her it was probably just a field mouse since they get pretty big here, but she swore up and down it was a rat!!!!
I dropped a just opened box of D-Con behind the fridge and in a little while heard a loud noise.
I went and looked, the fridge sets in the corner at a 45 degree angle, and the box was GONE!!!!!
So I went and got my .22 pistol, loaded with shot shells, and set on top the fridge, but the rat was cagey and knew I was there I guess.
So I dropped another box of D-Con behind the fridge, pretty soon another loud noise and that box was gone too. This was in the colder part of the year so I guess food was scarce outside.
Anyway a few days later the rat started to smell, fortuantely he had got under the fridge so it was easy to get rid of him, had he had not got under there I would have probably had to remove the tub since there's no way to get anything out from under it. He stunk to high heaven and back!!!!
I wish I could have shot the rat though, more fun that way and sporting as well.

Yvsa,

You're lucky, you had a gun and decon.

I was in college at the time and all I had handy was a pair hard wood escrima sticks. I caught it square a few times, but it was one tough rat and got away! Two of the girls I shared the house with were freaking out and yelling at me to kill it. I put some pretty nice marks on the hard wood floor in the hall way, so I know I was hitting the little b*stard pretty hard but that thing just wouldn't stop.

I'll tell you though, if I'd had a good spear head on the end of those sticks, he'd have been history!

Btw, while determining how the rat got in they found a problem with the foundation and condemned the house. The only house the rental company had available to move us into was newly renovated, but they had to honor our original rental agreement so we paid about half what the house should've rented for.

Rats about the size of cats!? My goodness Uncle bill! I hope those roommates paid their share of the rent...
{I have to ask, were those creatures even afraid of humans? Or did they just glare right back at you?}

I would suggest a blowgun...fun, quiet, reloadable, posionous. All you need for lil critters. But the size of a cat???? I suggest a Ruger MkII with sub-sonic ammo, unless you have really powerful and large lungs.
 
Rats the size of cats! Did you live near a ship yard?

The only place I've seen rats THAT big was on a warf. No, they had no fear of people ... just looked at you with a "Go ahead punk, make my day!" look.

I've had a blowgun or two. I have been told that one can make a potent poison for BG darts from chewing tobacco (absent sources for curare!
wink.gif
), boiled down into a paste. Since nicotine is a deadly poison when introduced into the bloodstream, it makes sense.

(many poisons can be consumed safely, as long as one does not have cuts in the mouth)
 
PS- if one does use poison on projectiles, be sure to place the poison BEHIND the tip, therefore making it less likely you will "inject" yourself!
