Thanks Blues et al. I have a WWII 16.5 headed this way.
A late shooting buddy came to practice one evening with one he picked up that day at SARCO in Easton. Apparently they had shit-tons of the inexpensive but functional blades. I was only in their store once, did not see the Khurkuris as I was distracted by the WWII and older Katanas, and other stuff but the place a cross between an old fashioned army navy store and a disorganized museum where you can buy stuff.

I'm now the proud owner of one of the British Army Service models (http://yhst-7333098713883.stores.yahoo.net/brarse1.html). Very cool. Looks just like their picture. Didn't need it. Glad I bought it.

Congrats, Erik. I hope you enjoy it. I think the BAS has a special "just right" feel to it.
There's nothing civil about this war.
My last trip to Nepal we had some down time after flying back into Kathmandu from the Khumbu and did a bunch of wandering around the city. I found a cool shop in Thamel selling nothing but Khukuris. I picked out two that I brought home and gifted to friends. One being a member of our command staff; a giant Norwegian Viking of a fellow who, as you might imagine, was immediately enamored with it. It still sits to this day on his mantel along with a couple other sharp and pointy historical trinkets. I was over visiting earlier this week and remembering this thread, meant to take a photo of it. Alas, I forgot. Figured I'd share the story anyway.
Very cool thread!
