Aww man! A Hanshee! I just nailed my CAK yesterday. I'm gonna have to wait a little longer for a Hanshee.

The Bashpati and Chainpuri are awesome too. It's an excellent day for sharks but today I'm a catfish.
 
I'm a not so Great White one my tummy is full at the moment but then there is always my second stomach for desert :p tempting blades! Never seen a Hanshee. How are they?

They have a much more pronounced bend to them. Kind of different. I love the look of them. I never swung one so no first hand experience. I'd say more weapon related than a chopper but I got nothing solid to back that statement up with.

I'll have one some day. I do know that, if there are enough days ya know?

Keshar Lal (or Kesar Lal) was using Bura's mark on the earliest KLVUKs, and then stopped marking them.

A while back Keshar Lal returned to work at HI. Master Kami Bura gave
him an idea about a special knife and gave Keshar his crescent moon
sign logo. Now Keshar puts his crescent moon logo and his initial on all
the blades he makes...

Wow! Thanks Steve. So KL has Buras old mark! I guess they never overlapped use of the crescent moon mark?

Nice, nice hanshee. Jens- to me they are pretty weaponized. The sweet spot on mine is farther back into the curve than a regular khukuri. They also lever sideways a little more if your grip isn't tight @time of impact. That being said, a:mine's not an HI, and b: they're still awesome.
Point of interest, though- if you have an FMA background blade handling-wise go sloooowly until you get used to the arc...
almost dropped my left ear on my dog when I first built mine...:D
 
Hi this is Gehazi, go ahead and send it to Washington. I'm ready to fry for a Hanshee.

Love
Gehazi
 
hohoho I support the above message, though I will soon post a shameful update of my own pile of steel, I think I have well over 120 lbs in knife now, i really want to do them the justice of a wall but I have failed so far in my efforts ( erstwhile and halfass though they have been)

Nope I can't figure it out. The dumb one needs help here JW. Be gentle, it's tough being stoopid.

I should weigh all the bandages, staples and stitches I've had from my knife acquisition beatings. I don't think I'm close to 120lbs though. 20 maybe.
