Well in kukri we also run across this western need for single word pigion holing & naming labels,
But as always a rose by any other name would smell as sweet,
As long as we have the ability to use a sentace rather than one word to describe a weapon or tool I think thats the option I generaly prefer.
So many of them are highly individual & would escape round any exact catergerisations we imagined the label should match & Photos always help for clarity of discusian to of course!
Thats a nice heavily curved shamshir or perhaps more killj type blade with a lovely & ornate tulwar grip & typical Indian riccaso you have there Jens.
