Great stuff, Ted. Sher made three of my HI knives. It is good to see him.

 

[Fiddleback]

Whoa! Those are great pics. Really amazing to see another world there.

 

[Steely_Gunz]

Ted, thank you so much for being our eyes and ears I absolutely love seeing the staff of HI. I'm really pleased to see Sher smiling after his hiatus

Smoke and prayers going up for Yangdu, the kamis, and all of the family and "family" of HI for a continued positive trip:thumbup:

LOL, as small as they are, those Nepali guys look like they'd kick my arse!

Definitely a different world.

 

[H2OCutter]

Great pictures, looks like all is well.

 

[HikingMano]

Great pics! It is definitely an entirely different world, and it's cool to see an current picture of Sher since my first khuk was made by him.

 

[CallsThunder]

Thanks for sharing. Wonderful pics.

Those folks in Nepal know how to party!:thumbup:

Love the 3 story white house behind the khukuri dance guys:thumbup:

 

[DrThunder88]

So, are the Kamis going to fill us in the secret steps of the Khukuri dance? On second thought, maybe it's better that I don't get any ideas on dancing with sharp objects!

Great pictures! I'm glad everyone looks like they're doing well.

Thanks for the photo update, they really enrich the Himalayan Import Experience. Would love to chat but gotta go chop something!

Glad you guys like the pics. Today was my first day back to work in a week and I haven't had time to get a DOTD together. I'll have one up tomorrow around 6PM Pacific.
