So I was surfing on internet as I'm wont to do, and I came across this site. Himalayian Imports, khukuris huh? Well, I always thought they looked cool, but most were junk. I guess I can check it out.......
Only now do I realize how well that trap was baited!
The khukuri is a wonderful tool, weapon, and link to another world. The villager tells a thousand storys in every hammer mark, and every grain of the wood. No other weapon that I have ever handled has a soul like a khukuri. A friend of mine has many knives and several khuks from other manufacturers, he belives that the villager I own is of a better quality than anything he has! If only he could see the workmanship of a standard H.I.! Alas, I rant... I meant only to say that you will never regret the purchase of a Himalayan Imports khukuri.

Three of the four elements are shared by all creatures, but fire was a gift to humans alone. Smoking cigarettes is as intimate as we can become with fire without immeadiate excruciation. Every smoker is an embodiment of Prometheus, stealing fire from the gods and bringing it back home. We smoke to capture the power of the sun, to pacify Hell, to identify with the primordial spark, to feed on the marrow of the volcano. It's not the smoke we're after but the fire. When we smoke, we are performing a version of the fire dance, a ritual as ancient as lighting. The lung of a smoker is a naked virgin thrown as a sacrifice into the godfire.
