Isn't it about time we have a Yangdu Special???

Maybe something like the small 9 inch khukuri she at one time kept taped to her leg?

Make a great gift for our female friends!

Have Yangdu design it herself with smaller handles than the usual american versions, maybe the original size would work, and whatever blade shape she perfers.
Some nice engraving and letherwork on the sheath would make it very special.
 
I rather think of the new UB Memorial Super Salyans as a 'Yangdu Special"


It is certainly a good idea, but with all the variety and change in the HI line at this moment- I don't think I've ever seen more models, this kind of thing is best left to Yangdu. MHO

The' Baby *' series of khukuri are already available for leg-taping. I'd certainly feel better walking around with all 9'' of my Baby Chitlangi on the one night every month or two I wear a skirt.

Still, it'd be to see a Yangdu special someday. I guess it's up to the kamis or the bladesmiths here to make it.
 
IMHO, the real Yangdu special is the Hasiya. She said she carried one growing up. It's the woman's EDC in Nepal - lots you can do with it, both in and outside the house.
 
That's how I understand it too. Women have the Hasiya, while men carry Khukuri. Although I'm not sure how hard a rule this is, especially for a woman who sells swords. The Yangdu Special might suprise us : )
 
Good trade!

Seriously, I was thinking of starting a thread on this very subject: What would be a good khuk for a lady, like my wife who is maybe 110 lbs soaking wet? I'm thinking a 12" Ang Khola or Sirupati might do the trick...
 
I've been using my hasiya quite regularly to keep the driveway and fence clear of blackberries. I could use a sword or a khuk, or (God forbid) a weed eater, but the hasiya is quiet and sickles don't seem to scare passers-by like the larger items do.

That being said, can we stop referring to it as a woman's tool? If my neighbors find out I'll never live it down. :)

Just put on your mask and tell anyone who mentions it that you're keeping in touch with your feminine side.;) :p :D

I suppose that's better than putting on my lipstick. Will keep this in mind.
 
also you might want to not let your hips sway so much when you walk. Oh and when you hold it...don't stick out the pinky finger. :rolleyes:
