A well patinated nice old handmade kukri (khukri) knife retaining an old leather over wood sheath and two small utility knives. The horn hilt of the kukri has an elliptical cross section with an iron cap and is decorated in the typical manner with concentric rings. The bolster is made of iron with a nicely detailed cho at the forte. The back of the 12 1/2 inch long blade is a robust 5/16ths of an inch in thickness and there are three narrow fullers along the back of the forte area that opens onto slightly concave blade faces. Scattered small forging flaws reassure about its age and handmade status. Scattered light pitting of the blade is present. The old sheath shows some cracking of its leather cover and is worn through along the sides where the two small utility knives insert. Additional empty slots for other utensils are also present. The larger of the two utility knives appears to have lost its cap, but is otherwise in good condition with only light pitting. The smaller by-knife has a cross-hatched design and no cap and is in similar condition. Lew considered this kukri to date from 1900-1918. The overall length is 16 1/2 inches with a weight of 27.1 ounces.
