I read the round cho/kaudi as "made in India" rather than as a sign of poor quality. Some Indian kukris are very good in terms of metallurgy, ergonomics, and fit & finish, so "Indian" isn't always bad for kukris.

As above, I think this one is Indian.

There are very old and very new Nepalese kukris with no cho/kaudi, and some older (but not very old) ones, so "no cho" and "abnormal cho" don't always mean non-Nepalese.
