I know nearly nothing about kukri and until a few days ago I don't have seen maybe the real deal. But I see that this are good blades and they seems to be well cared for. :) Nice collection, thank you for sharing. :)

Regards,
Detlef

I picked this one up at a barn sale along w/a funky old choora .
Scabbard and pouch w/the 2 little fellows included .

This should happen more often . ;)

Thank you Detlef

That is a lovely kukri there Rick, it looks hollow forged and partial tang? Thank you for sharing, cheers Simon

Yes, hollow forged .
A thin steel plate at the butt with what looks like a cut nail holding it in place .
For splitting a chicken in the kitchen it's incomparable . ;) :)

I reckon the two pieces are very early 20th C.

I reckon you're right on the age of the kukri, love the way you use it in the kitchen :D
