Want your name and personal message or motto stamped on your next khukuri?

[Bill Martino]

Down at the shop we can steel stamp (1/8 inch) your name -- or anybody's -- and/or your personal motto -- or anybody's -- or the message you want to get across into the blade of your next khukuri -- any size or style.

Below are samples I scanned of a 20 inch Sirupati I just had done for an East Coast customer.

Cost is ten bucks for name and ten bucks for motto or message (not more than a dozen words -- too much for shop's limited English skills.)

If interested, either post or email me name and message and I'll get your personalized khukuri ordered. Allow 3 to 6 months for delivery. Since few want a khukuri with another person's name on it half payment required before ordering.

Let me know.

What about; "IF YOU CAN READ THIS YOUR TO CLOSE"

 

[Bill Martino]

If that's what you want we can do it.

"Infidel's Neck Goes Here" and an arrow pointing towars the edge...

...

To alleviate any lawsuits from ignorant customers (I doubt that there are any, but everyone knows coffee is hot and that didn't stop the lawsuits) "Caution: Sharp Edge", and perhaps "please wear Safety Goggles"....

"Kami Not Included"....(that was just too funny Cougar...)

Yekim, the "Kami not Included" was good.

I swear, I laugh more reading this forum than I do at anything. No wonder I enjoy it so much.

Zio Bill...
When I order mine I want:

"D'Cicci....

La vendetta è un freddo il più bene servito del piatto. Il Dio capisce l' uomo con integrità"

Do the kamis accept Italiano?

Come to think of it, my personal motto would fit on a knife.

[Bill Martino]

This is turning out to be an interesting thread. Yes, Sis, we can get the Italian for you.

Bill

 

[John Powell]

Bill, can you get something special engraved too? The stamping is great, but something from the hand of an artist would really be unique. Kind of like a 'poor man's' kothimora.

[Bill Martino]

Yes, we can do that, too.

Earnestly pointing at the stamping on your khukuri with your best puppy dog face---

"See,Officer, right here.................

Stay safe and all the best, Phil <----<

How about a translation, DC? Or is it too obscene?

I warn you, if you don't give a translation I will post one of my notorious translations based on the principle that foreigners are just people who don't know how to spell very well and use weird syntax.... I might do that anyway.

[Phil Squire]

Hey Coug,

As recommended by Oxford,here is a website that is a motherlode for Italian/English Translation. http://www.iol.ie/~mazzoldi/lang/italian.htm
I have been using it,lately,as the Language Lupara is choked Martino improved cylinder and DC Full.

Entering DC in the translator produced Dona D'Cicci and Designer Costoletta. (yes,I'll have to order one)

Stay safe and all the best, Phil <----<

 

[Bill Martino]

Hey, Sis. Translation please? I'm not good enough to do it off the top of my head and I'm too lazy to dig out the Italian/English dictionary.

Bill

 

[Cougar Allen]

This translation is based on the principle that foreigners are just people who can't spell and don't know much about syntax either. Accuracy is not guaranteed.

La vendetta è un freddo il più bene servito del piatto.
The vendor, he is one sick Freddy -- p-u! Benny's servant, the pattycake

Il Dio capisce l' uomo con integrità
of God, caps the uomo against integrity.

As always, I welcome corrections and alternate translations from all, whether you know any Italian or not.

-Cougar Allen :{)

 

[DC]

ROTFLMAO!!! Cougar you are killing me!

Translation..."Revenge is a dish best served cold. God understands the man of integrity"


Look out boys, sounds like Phil has more than a passing knowledge of the infamous Sicilian Lupara

 

[Bill Martino]

Thanks, Sis. I had the last part correct but got confused with the cold dish.
