Thanks Blues et al. I have a WWII 16.5 headed this way.
Congrats, Willard. I hope you enjoy it. Please post about it here...or in a separate thread if you prefer.
There's nothing civil about this war.
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.

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!
Excellent choice.
