Spiral, I, for one, would love a CD and would be more than happy to compensate you for costs, effort and such (short of paying for the trip, of course **grin**)
I've often thought that a compilation of photos from this site on a CD/CD's would be worth it's weight in gold, and remember back when the idea of assembling a "Stone-like" bladed weapon index on a CD was discussed by many.
Well, I sort of remember it, sometimes. **sigh**

I love the arrangement in pic no. 8. Its so symmetrical, and the pieces look "darkly deadly". Actually, how do these 2ft kukris handle? Are they on the "chopper-hefty" side, or are they balanced and swift?

Conogre, Thats great , Thankyou for your interest.

What price would you be like to pay? {air tickets not withstanding!

} unfortuanatly it will have to be posted from the UK as I live in sunny England.

If you email me we can discuss details. spiraltwistanospam@aol.com {losing the nospam of course!

}

Bluerf as the cabinets are nailed shut, what I am going to say must be pure speculation based on thier appearance, the majority of spines appeared to my eye to be around 10mm or slighty less & with distal taper so they would seem fast enough for the Gurkha approach to battle.

Several had spines of up to about 14mm & one looked nearer 20mm & presumably was just used for fairly stationary targets! Or was used by a Arnold Scwarznegger look alike perhaps?
