Kukri restoration help
This kukri was brought back from the China-Burma-India theater by a friend of mine's uncle after WWII.
The veteran recently died and this was found in a trunk in his garage.
The grip is too far gone to try to fix, so, I proposed to him that I carve a new one out of water buffalo horn, which is what the original appears to be made of.
I thought I had some of this horn stashed away, but I can't find it!
Are there any sources out there where I can find some? Or, if any forumites out there may have a piece they would be willing to sell, I, and my friend who owns
it, would be appreciative!
In a perfect world, a piece that is solid, 5" by 2" by 1" is the ideal! Those dimensions, but hollow would work.
Please PM if you can help.
