Hey Andrew

On the contrary, my friend. Padma is Indian, and certainly qualifies as an "ethnographic object" worthy of intense study. ;)

Not only is she drop dead georgeous she co-hosts a reality Top Chef show and routinely eats 12-20 helpings of "viddles" and still looks the way she does. Now that is my kind of gal!

Hello Flavio,
Thanks for sharing your collection!
I can only aspire to acquire the knowledge neccessary to acquire such a diverse collection. Any chance of some closeups of your kukri? Heres what is probably the best piece I have, from a collectors viewpoint.

Best wishes

Dan :)

Dan / Scaratch,

Nice khuk. I think that you would see some nice patterns if you decided to put some vinegar on it.



Flavio,

Do you have any more detailed pictures of this piece? I have one much like it with a kris blade.

I am curious about the three lances (?) at the bottom. What are they called, and where are they from?
