I was Given a Khukuri by a nepalese guy ( former Ghurka ) at Christmas.
Thought you chaps would like a look see.
Its a very sharp thing, looks like it was made on a small scale forge, There is evidence of laminating the metals. The handle is the usual buffalo horn everythinfg you would expect from a Khukuri really, plus some nice engraving and a plaque with the guy that gave me on a presented by piece of scroll work.
Happy New year all.

Thats nice.............. thats very nice.................. Thats Very VERY NICE:thumb:

I look at that and think about the changes I had to make to mine, that I wouldnt do to that :

Nice! Looks like a very expensive Khukuri... I would be scared to even sharpen it lol.

Beautiful blade! I'd be proud to carry it.

Might I make one small suggestion? When taking close-up pictures, try to move back just a tad, then enlarge the photo on your computer and crop it. This will allow you to see detail nice and sharp.

Nice. A bit too ornate for common chores, but beautiful all the same.

I don't think I'd be dragging that beauty to the woodlot.

That's a beauty ! Quite a gift. I'm looking for a nice one. This site looks promising..

From the look of the smudges on the blade bevel it looks like someone may already have. Decoration is fine and all but if I can not take it to the wood lot (if I have to) then the thing is just ugly. It looks like a very nice knife.

I've gotten probably 15-20 khukuris from the Nepalese guys who work for me but I've never seen one that nice! Beautiful.

I bought one in the 70's to support the Gurka Pension Appeal . It's one of my favourite knives. It was quite roughly finished when I bought it. I've since made it look presentable .
