They do but, in my experience, not very good quality.
Some forms of the Burmese martial art Bando do use the kukhri in their systems, however.
I've had a couple of these, but never held on to them for long. The handle material/deocoration and that particular type of koftgari are not typically indicative of a weapon made for heavy use. Your example may, indeed, be better quality as individual results may vary.
