There is a story on Bill Miller's ( An Indin singer,songwriter.) tape about Watching out for Coyote.
I got Rusty's package in the mail today and discovered that there is now a shortage of The Black Plastic Electricians Tape in Hawthorne Nevada!!

Yup!! Coyote done wrapped that little khukuri up good in a zip lock bag and about 50 miles of the tape. Rusty is right about the little khukuri being an erotic little thing. It is beautiful!! I now know for certain why he got that nickname on the Rez.

It also smells erotic with the clove oil being predominant with underlying sharp smells of almond and other erotic substances that seem to call out,"Honey!! Come quickly!!)

I think the oil would make a lovely lube and protectorant on the khukuris,but I would sure let my wife or girlfrind smell it in the bottle first. There is No Way she is gonna believe that you smell like that from handleing your khukuri's. (VBESEG)

Hmm...erotic, exotic Khukuri oils?

Now, you got my attention!

I'm starting to wonder about just how much some of you guys love your khukuris -- and in what sense of the word.
 
Rusty, what are you doing with those khukuries and exotic oils.

Yvsa, make sure you wash that khukuri real good.

Cobalt I wouldn't dare wash that khukuri!!

Anything that smells like it does almost deserves one to fall down and worship Aphrodite.(VBESEG)

I don't know if Rusty noticed it or not, but that little blade has been folded multiple times and resembles a cable damascus knife I bought several years ago. It should be interesting to see what a full etch brings out of it.

I realize it's a village knife, but if the H.I. kamis do the same thing to the khukuri's (and I expect they do.) that we buy from Uncle Bill my opinion of thier knives has jumped 10 fold and my opinion was already that there is no better blades made anywhere.

I took the spine profile down on that, then worked on the edge profile. Originally I left the inverted V on the spine, then rounded it, after a few emails to and from John Powell. Though I thinned the sides so much I removed the Sword of Shiva, I was going to reengrave it. What you see, Yvsa, was all done by hand and an electric drill. No vice, but I did at times use a couple c clamps to hold it. Most of the shaping was done by blade held in one hand and file in the other. Didn't have the skill to do the cho right with the tools available, nor the sword.

Decided when you said your cuz was going to finish a head with a spirit you felt was right for me, then you would handle it, that the little thing belonged with you. There's some of me in what I sent, and some of you in what I'll have when you and your cuz get it ready.

Do you really expect us to believe that no vice was involved in the makeover of your “Kama Sutra” khukuri?
 
Touche, Howard.

No, I don't expect you to believe it. That's the point of my stories. They are too outrageous to be true.

Example: remember the tall tale I made up about carrying a Thompson behind the truck seat while working on the rez at the time of the Rodney King riots? You should be recieving some interesting snail mail shortly.
