(is this picture too big?)​
Top to Bottom
Jungle Knife..........Kerambit-A....."Kumar" Karda
Bamboo Cutter......Kerambit-B.....YCS Karda
Annapurna Bowie.......................YCS Karda
Seax........................................"Kumar" Karda
AK Bowie...................................Sarge
Kerambit-A................................Gool
................................................R-3
................................................R-4
................................................R-6
................................................R-10

If anyone would like some close ups of any of these or perhaps more info about them, say so and I will do my best to answer. The one Kerambit with the wood handle has the beginnings of cold bluing done to it. That is why it looks the way it does. I may leave it be as all I wanted to do was knock the shine off of it so it wouldn't be such a signal mirror. ;) I am hoping for a horn handled Kerambit-C, hopefully from Dil Kami so they all match, so I can complete the set soon. :cool:

So maybe folks will now post up their knives as well?
 
I would as well Wolf. I have a really nice Scramsax for when I wear my Viking Sword and outfit though. :)
 
Man - just about every other picture I've seen of the AK Bowie has been in sunlight or taken in a manner that makes it difficult to see the fullers. That pic with the lower lighting really shows them off.. and dang they're purty! :D

A relative newbie, and you've outstripped my collection, by the look! :eek:

Maybe of HI knives but hardly close to the rest of your collection. ;)

I haven't been around long as a buy here but I have gotten some in previous deals for a while back... I think though, I am about to purge most of my actual Khukuries and concentrate on this sort of thing from here on out. I have a few of the Khuks and I am keeping the Tarwars but otherwise, I am in the process of getting things organized so I can post the stuff up (once I pay my admission of course).


Killa_Concept: Here are a few more pix to show off the fullers on the AK Bowie for you...

That AK Booee gets me all excited. I must have one. Problem is, HI makes more knives that I want, than I can afford. Maybe I can sell a kidney.


The seax also reminds me of a flat ax I saw in Backwoodsman magazine. It was supposed to be a great chopper.

I don't think I ever saw the R4 before. That is a cool design. I also like the R3 quite a bit. Thanks for posting the pic. :thumbup:
 
You know, there aren't many knives out there, besides HI knives, that can make an AK bowie look so small.
 
Great collection of HI's. Especially like those kerambits and the Vojpuri

Nice collection!:thumbup:
You can expect an email from me! :D
 
This is the new picture of the Knives folks, this one above you dredged up is the old one...

I await the coming of the three I just bought, the two Neem handles, an 18" Seax and a YCS Karda plus the Bhadhur Knife
 
man I'm so torn between the YCS and Kumar kardas...but I'm getting a Vojpuri Bowie...some time soon.
 
Well, I am hoping another of the big 10 inch bladed Kumar Kardas show up.
The last one was sharked by my friend in Australia but I was able to handle it before sending it on to him.
He and I have a set up that seems to save him money, he sends me a bunch of stuff he is wanting from various places here and then I send it to him.
He just pays me back the postage of the shipment and if we manage to keep it into a Flat Rate box, more's the better.

I like the YCS Kardas for the way they feel in the hand and unless you really need a BIG knife, that is what I would suggest.
 
yeah...I'd love to put my paws on a 18" complete YCS kit. This model is like love from first sight for me.
you both have the right idea with the "special postage"...may I jump in?
