Laminated Kukri

Thats an interesting and excellent piece Russell!

With a blade length of 17.5 inches I would speculate that your kukri may fall into the Maar Hani catagorey: that is to say a sacrificial blade for festivals such as Dashain.

At that length it could easily be used to sacrifice goats and small buffalo.

The blade decoration would also suggest a kukri made for a festival, although that is certainly not the norm.

A very good find, and excellent repair work, congratulations!

All the best,

Chris
