Himalayan Imports Nepal Custom EDC Knife UB Kami LB Bone Tanto Harpoon Sheath 8\" For Sale

Authentic Himalayan Imports (Nepal) Hand-Forged Custom EDC Knife – \"U.B.\" & Kami \"L.B.\" Moon/Sun Touchmarks – Genuine Bone Handle & Thin Silver Guard – Custom Red Leather Scabbard – 8\" Overall

Up for sale/sale is a rare, custom-profiled fixed blade from Himalayan Imports, hand-forged in Nepal by traditional master kamis. While Himalayan Imports is world-renowned for their heavy-duty military Gurkha khukuris, this piece is an uncommon compact everyday carry (EDC) utility knife, measuring just under 8\" overall with a stout 3-7/8\" hand-ground blade.

Artisan Marks & Collector Significance:

• The \"U.B.\" Mark: Stamped on the show-side ricasso, denoting \"Uncle Bill\"—the signature tribute mark applied to authentic Himalayan Imports blades honoring late founder Bill Martino.

• Kami \"L.B.\" Touchmark: Stamped on the obverse ricasso with the initials \"L.B.\" alongside his individual talisman: a deeply chiseled Crescent Moon and Four-Point Sun enclosed within a decorative dimpled frame, representing the master craftsman who forged the blade.

• Tactical Hybrid Blade Profile: A dynamic, aggressive blend of traditional Nepali forging and modern tactical geometry: features a sweeping dropped belly that transitions into an angular, reinforced tanto-style tip, accented by a 1/3 primary grind and an upper harpoon false swedge along the spine.

• Natural Bone & Silver Hardware: Fitted with a sleek, polished natural white bone handle accented by a thin solid silver-tone metal guard.

Physical & Cosmetic Condition:

• Blade & Grinds: Clean hand-forged finish with crisp harpoon bevels, sharp cutting edge, and deeply struck, legible kami marks on both sides of the ricasso.

• Handle & Guard: Genuine bone handle is solid, smooth, and free of cracks or loose play. The silver-tone guard is seated firmly against the blade shoulder.

• Scabbard: The formed red leather scabbard is sturdy with tight seams, good blade retention, and an intact metal chape tip.

A unique and scarce collector crossover uniting traditional Nepalese bladesmithing with modern harpoon-tanto EDC design.
