Whatever cyber-mystery has befallen my reply to chiro75 and jani is beyond me, unless somebody caught a couple of them. Anyway, I read the same FK May '95 article jani did and was impressed by the roy genge Khukuri. I have seen this piece pix'ed elsewhere in non-damascus steel and it is nice. Unfortunately, Frank Vought and Kent Draper, two who knew the "right flavor" and could price it for the working man are no longer with us. My summer brochure fromjohn Greco lists an 8" Khuk for a reasonable sum, as I recall. As an Aside, in the mid 70's "Carribou" Rod Chappel, of Davis Knives, Spokane,WA made a bowie/khukuri cross called the Leopard. It was a very sleek High art piece of the first rank. The last i checked Rod is still out there. Though i occasionally see his work I do not know if it is new or old, though the big bowies I have seen are 4 figures and stunning. I will be glad to chat later on this.

Cyber-mystery! I just got hit by a couple -- viruses! Had to start over on a lot of things. What pleasure can guys get out of causing a lot of problems for others? I don't get it.

Sorry to hear that Uncle Bill.
It's a really good idea to have virus protection software running at all times. That will catch most of them. I use Mcafee Viruscan on all my PCs and it seems to work well. As long as you keep your virus software up to date, you should be relatively virus free.
The most likely time to get caught is when you do heavy file exchanges or send word processing documents back and forth.
I don't understand the motivation behind this nonsense either. It does nothing but harm for many.

Hi Bob:
Virus scan caught the viruses but couldn't clean them so I had to delete the files. They were Windows system files so I had to reload Windows to get clean files. There may be a better way but I don't know it if there is. Had to reload all my peripheral stuff and lost some bookmarks, etc. Wasted 3 hours getting back to speed -- and still not quite there.
