Yahooo!!! :mrgreen:

Thanks a lot, Jonah.

Please PM me your address and the amount.

Will you be sending it to Asif? I am in Delhi from 27th evening to 2nd afternoon and could pick it up from him. Mind you I am leaving Bangalore on 22nd morning, so don't send it to Bangalore close to that date.

Thanks once again.

Mack The Knife

P.S.: What is the smith's name? Please thank him on my behalf.

Hi Pran,

You can do more than just look at it. Bring some wood along.

They are made in Mizoram.

Will be needing more though. Also got the fly. Anybody know where I can get some G-Smith .177 pellets close to JNU (New Delhi) ??

Duh Huh..

Shore thing Kanwar.. But I cant promise any dates though. I can pick an "off the shelf" bowie for you at about 750 - 1000 depending on its maker. If you want one along with Mack The Knifes order.

Hello Asif Thanks but I think I can get somebody to go to Old delhi. Would help if you could send me the address of the G-Smith Dealer though. Am sending the knives either by Post/Courier or personal courier.. (someone travelling to Delhi) Will be able to do so this weekend. Dont worry about the delays the 'downtime' are usually much quicker than the 'uptime'

GREAT Bowies !!!! I know I am new to the group and dont want to sound like I am intruding into this subject but could you please tell me exactly where I can locate these knives in Aizawl. Never been to Mizoram so a detail address would be helpful.
Been collecting knives since I was 8. Started with a desi Rampuri switch blade that cost me Rs 8 in a village fair... saved the money from my tiffin allowance and dad said I was fleeced. Later, exchanged it with a friend for a German folder that came as a gift with some Brandy..... never looked back since then..

Sad part is still miss the Rampuri and someone took off with theGerman folder.
