Well Henk,

I agree with Berk that the small tools have been added to the kukri & scabbard from other pieces.

But Some kukris have tweezers & they were used as for hair removal .

most Gurkhas have very little body hair & some of them choose to pluck any hairs that do grow on their body out, for the total hairless effect.

There tough!

Thanks Spiral.

Sounds logical to me.

And of course thanks to everybody who gave me info on this kukri.
