Cheers Stu, Tirri book is a great coffee table book, but lots of his identifications & terms are rather dubious I find.
Its a non functing kukri, With a probably later tourist Tulwar type hilt. {I agree with Alex, re. the hilt...The Diety looks more like a pixie to my eye.
}
Gene to my eye that hilts not quality? Looks poor casting?
Heres a few kukris all of which are larger than the featured one. some with kora grips, For me only one of then is approaching sword size. {21.5 inch blade & 7 inch handle.}
But to me its just a kukri.
But each to there own.
