The following photographs are not of the best quality, but considering they were taken by an inmate escapee of an insane asylum, they ain't bad. I must have done something in a previous life because all the HI kuks I've purchased have brought me pleasure and happiness, Bar none. The first product report is about the brass HI khukuri hat/lapel pins. I already thought them to be attractive, but still was pleasantly surprised with the amount of tension on the attachment clip on the reverse side. It holds and holds very well. Plus (this is the best part) it makes Miss Cutie Curls dirty old blacksmithing hat look SO much better! See for yourself:
[/URL][/IMG] Yet another HI kuk hasn't disappointed!
Our second product report concerns the KILLER kagas katne which arrived in this morning's mail, too. I found it to be cuter'n all get out and must agree with Mrs. Martino's statement that they would make great "stocking stuffers" come Christmas. Boys, (and Shavru) you best git you one or two. You'll be glad you did. Now, it was known right off that the little rascal was a letter opener. But because of me being the cook at our house, I wanted to buy a different little knife for in the kitchen, so the thought was "get one". But upon removing the kuk from it's chape this morning, SURPRISE, SURPRISE! The blade is solid brass! Way cool! Here's a double photo to show you what I have:

Not disappointed in the least (this gives me leeway for ordering another custom kuk) and knowing just how well my KLVK chewed through those saplings and the splitting power of my mighty curved spine, it was decided to put it through it's paces and see if it lived up to the Himalayan Imports tradition. Being up front and honest about this testing, please note that nothing was held back. It twern't mollycoddled or babied, nor trick photography engaged. What you see, is what I got. All I can say is: CRIKEY!! Bring on King Kong!! This is one bad aszed kuk let me tell you!!
