We all love khukuris, but HI makes some of the best "small" knives around. Here are mine, less the duplicates. :eek: They are such a bargain, sometimes you just have to buy one, even if you already have one! Please share pics of yours. The variety seems endless!

In the center are the Sarges; or Kismet practical hunter, in antler and horn.

From the top, then counterclockwise:
JKM
Baby Chitlangi
Sgt. Khadka Biltong with velvet sheath
Kumar Karda with carved wood handle
Kumar Karda in Antler
KK smooth horn
KK carved horn
Sgt. Khadka wooden handled Biltong
Sgt. Khadka horn biltong

Now THAT is a computer wallpaper image !

Could you make one of them a cursor?



Lovely collection, Steve....

Thank you.
 
Those are nice, but I can only find the KK and the JKM on the HM site...how does one go about ordering any of the others?

You could also email Yangdu at himimp@aol.com and ask her what she has on hand. Just give her an idea what you are looking for.


Nice collection Nasty. That kerambit is sweet!

Bamboo, the YCS kardas are superb, aren't they?

Kis, Thanks bud!

Nice Pics. Thank you Steve.
 
I thought this thread was a good idea. HI's little guys are normally unsung heros.

Maybe the adoption rate will go up for the little guys. I'm looking to add a few more too.

Thanks for the info...the 'Sarge' looks like it would be a useful addition.
 
while my khukuris get the harder workouts, the "smaller ones" see more frequent use. I carry a carved-horn Kumar Karda in my longbow-quiver (medieval) and have to use it sometimes to get the arrows out of the target-stands or trees :rolleyes: I have to link the pics as I cannot uplode from the MSN-site

My JKM is nice too and is my "dress knife" on medieval festivals - together with a wooden spoon its hanging from the belt. Next use will be on a wedding in August - a friend of mine who makes a living from making medieval shoes and leathe stuff (belts etc.) marries - and of course it is a large (150 persons) wedding. We have to find a medieval dress for little Simon (8 weeks old now) until then...

Unsung?
Hell no!
I love the small knives.
I am trying to get a collection of all of the small knives in Antler.
I have the KK,JKM, Kerambit and Seax in Antler.
I still need an antler Sarge....
the small knives are about equal in coolness to the big ones..
 
DIJ, do you mean the Indian buffalo, American stag or something all together different for a sarge?



Man, I wish I could get away with a kerambit here in Canada. Maybe I could but I couldn't bear a great piece being nabbed by the "customs."

Gorgeous collections guys.

YCS, buy the karda's get the khukuri for free.
 
I have a slightly modified Sarge knife. (Guard bent slightly, jimping and choil added, false edge sharpened.) It was just kind of kicking around, unused, until I took it camping. Now everyone that I camp with wants one, and I ain't selling mine. This thing's going in my will. Quite possibly the handiest and toughest knife that I own in that size, and nearly the sharpest. (I can get a Mora #1 a bit sharper but it won't hold an edge as long and is nowhere nearly as resilient.)

They're very nearly perfect - once you add a choil, that is. Otherwise they're just extremely good.

The kerambit's another good one, very solid and lots of possibilities for creative problem solving.
