I got this for a song, Auntie had it listed as a blem due to a small chip of wood missing from the handle and a slightly damaged sheath. I only paid $60!!!! now that's a deal no matter how u slice it. It is a hand made knife that is well balanced, polished perfectly, and just plain sexy. I would have to pay close to $500 or more to have a custom knife maker in the states attempt this knife.

It really has some sexy curves going on especially near the tip of the blade. It dips down making look almost like a swedge grind but no material is removed from the sides. The handle feels great even for with large hands. Its very very sharp and the hilt design is very nice. It appears to be a great fighter with the ability to "trap" an attackers blade... You can catch your opponents blade in the guard, then twist. You might get lucky and disarm him if he is still putting downward force. It has to be a quick move that relies on both his downward pressure and your twisting action. It will only work in certain circumstances but it is possible with practice. Overall I find it to by a great fighter. I would Love to see a guard like that on the Suga. Merging the Suga and Trisul might bring about an unbelievable useful fighter.

Here are some pics, enjoy...

The spine narrows and tapers at both the grip and point creating a perfectly balanced knife.

Yes I agree the HI rocks I've been wanting to buy another HI but every time I get a little extra money something comes up and/or I miss the dod :/

I hear you on that one man. Nothing worse than missing out on a DOTD by minutes. There will always me more deals is what I tell myself to feel better. FYI .. I've gotten lucky a couple times by loggin in early before the sharks wake up. Sometimes auntie posts early bird specials.
 
Ya all I have to do is hear my android I have it set up for notifications from HI when ever someone makes a new post my big thing is just being able to hear the darn thing
 
Fine rib-tickler.

Hm, though the Trisul was a double-edge dagger. Have to go look at my neem one ...

They indeed used to be. The one I had briefly (Vim) was double edge, the point centered up.

I do like the looks of this variation a lot though too.
 
I thought this style would be up your ally Bawanna. You are the Bowie king and this kinda looks like a Bowie lol
 
The Bowie King? That would be Steely Gunz me thinks. I am applying to become a bowie prince though for whatever tiny little bit that might be worth.
