Not really my thing, but I couldn't resist :p
I found this kukri, but I'm not sure it's a good one. It's a heavy piece weighing approx. 600 grs. What attrackted me most to this piece was the handle and the decoration on the blade.
The handle is made of aluminium ? Anyway, it's not iron (I tested it with a magnet). The scrollwork on both sides of the blade seems to be made of the same material. There's also a small amount of decoration on the back of the blade. The blade itself is pretty sharp and 7 mm thick.
The scabbard is made of wood, covered with leather. It's has an unusual shape an can be hanged from a belt. On the front two small pockets are provided for the small knives (which are missing). In my oppinion, a cheaply made thing.
Total length : 40 cm.
What do our kukri-experts think of this one ?
