Wowza! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Say, uh, any chance we could have a camping trip sometime, Ted? You bring all those beautiful blades to play with, and I'll bring the Candian beer? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Larry is a really nice guy too. I originally got the book because the main character carries an HI khukri, but I can't wait for the sequel now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

OK HI lovers! help guide me...I was looking at those deals that pop up in the HI section of BF and the price of the Bone Cutters look attractive...is that a good place to start? What's a good starting size? Why do they tag on the small blades?? Stupid/basic questions all,but help a brother out!

What's a good starting size? Why do they tag on the small blades?? Stupid/basic questions all,but help a brother out! The WWII or BAS is a good starting choice. Look for one that is 15"-18" OAL. The smaller blades are the karda and the chakma. karda - a small knife carried in the khukri sheath chakma or chakmak - the steel for striking on flint to produce fire; steel for sharpening knives (frequently found with a khukuri). http://www.himalayan-imports.com/faq/
