"The Kukri" by John Powell

[Steve Tall]

The FAQ at the HI site has some parts missings, such as the sections of John Powell's writings on "The Kukri". Thanks to the Wayback Machine, here are the missing chapters, archived in 2004 (with links that are not broken):

They have a "wayback machine" now? Amazing!

If you wait long enough do all the pictures finally show up? I clicked the impatienet button after about half an hour and about half the pictures were missing.

Thank you.

A bunch of the photos weren't loading for me, either.

Many photos from John Powells collection were loaded into the khukuri FAQ. I'm on a phone now so not easy to find and link them but a little poking around should turn them up.

Howard, in John Powell's e-book that I first saw years ago (2004?), there was a picture of a khuk labeled as being from Afghanistan. I found the text, but the picture is gone. A piece I THINK is similar has appeared in the last couple of days on BF (http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/983326-Afghanistan-knife?p=11191731#post11191731) with a story that it is from Afghanistan, but many persons are posting that it must be a fake. Any hope of recovering John's picture ?

Ed: Is this it (top of p. 3 of thread)? http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/983326-Afghanistan-knife/page3

Very, very interesting thread on John Powell.

Thomas, you may be able to figure out links from the wayback machine or the FAQ links Steve gave.
