Thankyou for the compliments and I am always looking for great pieces to use in these calendars. My own collection is koras and kukris. If any of you want to send me a very high resolution picture from your collection I will try to use it in the coming months. An overall shot plus close-ups and any details give me some creative flexability.

The photo of me with my cat, kukri and mistress was taken weeks ago. That beauty left, but I did keep the cat and traded the kukri for a khanjar which I traded for a kindjal and finally a kard.

The knife shown should properly be classified as a peshkabz. The term "choora" means "the same as" or "as also" in either Afghani or one of that country's many dialects. This comes from when George Cameron Stone had indigenous people identify the weapons for his book and when questioned they would identify the first piece and then say another, another, etc. The grips on this are of ivory.
