Another thing that intersted me, was did the Nepalese have specific names for the hilts on the khukuri below;
According to the General thay called them sword hilted khukuri, no specific name for handle types.
I was also interested if they had a particular name for this khukuri type below;
Bhakti Thapa's khukuri;
Kaji Amar Singh Thapa's khukuri;
He said there was no name for this style of khukuri, they were used with single or two hands, and the ring around the handle of that style of khukuri was a dividing ring for the hands. I then asked him about the terminology that has started to be used in the West 'Lambendh', he had never heard if it, it certainley wasn't a term he had heard of, let alone a term that applied to that type of khukuri.
