Nepalese knives.
These look like Nepalese to me. The blades are said to be approx 18" that is quite big.

Thats good because they are mine now. Looking at the scabbard mouth they are reasonably heavy. I have handled these in the past, they have all been very good so far. Bit of a gamble this one.

Just thought of this link. I no longer have the knife in the link. The new ones look alright to me.

Yep same family for sure Tim, Any more photos? as always Id be interested to see the closeup workmanship details.
Evrything from Nepal comes in various qualitys as its all hand made, but if there solid & tempered there well worth having in my opinion, nice shape, good size etc. Spiral |
