I bought some good stuff from Himalayan Imports today, but spent money I didn't plan to:
I got the first and second knives as well as the last one on the bottom row. They are:
1) A 18 1/8-in OAL 42-ounce model they call a Panuti farmer special knife,
2) A 15-inch OAL 24-ounce D-1, and a
3) A 10-inch OAL 13-ounce JKM-1
This after I bought an 18-inch 24-ounce Malla khukri and a chance on an HI katana with a silver scabbard inlaid with coral and turquoise just a couple days ago. Those raffle tickets aren't selling nearly as fast as they have in the past -- I think the economy is making people cut back. I haven't been doing so well at rebuilding my savings buffer, but there seem to be lots of good deals lately.
