Here is an excellent 16.5 inch, 23 ounce, WWII model made and marked by Bura. This is a 10/10 effort with a small chip gone (about 1/16x1/16) from the handle at the buttcap. Ten minutes with some black epoxy will bring the knife to "good as new" condition and it should last 100 years. I can't find anything else wrong with this khukuri. Fit, finish, hardness all up to snuff. Karda and chakma Bura style but karda has crack in handle -- superglue fix. Scabbard very well made and tooled by sarki with no name. Standard 100 year HI superfrog.

Spend 15 minutes and 15 cents on epoxy and superglue and save yourself $50. We'll deliver this rig to your door today for $75.

Call or email if interested.

The 16.5" WWII's are kind of like the old 256 Rigby ( English name for 7x57 ). Not necessarily the proper tool for the job, but will get it done.

( Ask WDM "Karamoja" Bell what the 175 grain round nosed ball will do! ) Am looking at adding a CZ550 in 7x57 to my SAFN in 7x57 late this month or early next. Hopefully with Mannlicher stock.

Interesting that you should mention spondylosis, Bill. I don't have it, but what I got is the same for all intents and purposes. My spine is all but fused. And it doesn't like the kick of anything like a 30-06. The 7x57 doesn't bother it.

). Besides how many people do you know that snapped up an UBDOTD before it was even posted on the forum....

I rest my case!

I suppose I could beat that this Monday... Bill wouldn't even have to mail it. And I could show it to my surgeon later that morning. Hmmn.

See, he has this problem with Washoe and St. Mary's scheduling him for an operating room, then when he shows up, they've put an emergency in the room instead, or he still has the room, but they've swiped his anaesthesiologist for the latest crisis rather than calling someone else in... My surgery got postponed at least 3 times at the last minute.

I suggested khukuri resolution of the matter. Simply pull one, go amok, and chase the SOB who did it halfway across the hospital. Guaranteed him that after the second time he'd have a reputation that preceeds him. And very few people willing to bear him bad news.

( God I wish I'd had one to lend emphasis to my wishes to the nurses! Y'all hear me now? Keep a "go" bag ready with a 380 or 38 snub in your shaving kit, a 12" khuk, and pepper spray. Would sure have helped. Specially after using the spray to keep the nurses at bay.

Hmmm: Selling pepper spray bed to bed on each hospital floor... It's got possibilities.
 
Test the pepper spray on hogs, first. Last group of nurses I dealt with were psycho hog beasts.
 
Bill, you gotta get a couple shipments of random khuks in. Long past time for a feeding frenzy for this bunch of great whites. Heck, what you put up goes so fast it's over before anyone knows about it.
 
Offending the hogs might be seen as animal cruelty (which I despise), but at least you can stay outside the fence. With the nurses, you are right in the pen with them. I truly believe there is secret genetic modification being done in the nursing schools.

My Morning: Six-month cardiologist's appt., fasting lab (nothing by mouth after 10:00 PM night before) and visit with doc at 10:30 AM. Lab opens at 7:30, and those arriving after 7:45 can figure on a three-hour wait. Got there at 7:15 after 25-mile drive with going-to-work maniacs. Out of lab in good time (only one hour) and off to eat a ten-course breakfast and traditional gallon of coffee with shooting buds. Back to clinic at 9:45. Peeked at tests (LDL down to 93 from previous 123, overall cholesterol 120, sugar down below normal (?) and weight down 12 lbs.) FEELING GOOD!! Upstairs to check in at doc's office, usual rigamarole and "sit down and we'll call you". Woke up at 11:30 while cute little three-year-old was trying to "pet the birdy" on the head of my cane. Checked pockets, and asked receptionist if doc had gone on an emergency. "Oh, goodness!! Are you still here?". Checked, and yes, I was. Went to exam room, had five-minute conversation with doc (good, pheasant hunting type) and left with new appt. scheduled for Nov.

Now.... All through this, the RNs and LPNs are having their side conversations in whispers, just like ladies anywhere. Except. Except at the end of each whispered phrase, instead of the normal, expected "tee hee", I distinctly heard "nork nork". If this is not proof of genetic tampering, it is a clear indication of _something_ amiss. The cute one (under 300 lbs.) even invited me to stay for lunch. No ******* way!
