I dont know how many you have had in you hand, as you dont say so. Neither do you say which country you live in, so it is quite hard to advise you, but rules are getting stricter every year.
You may even have very strict weapon rules in the country you live in - check it, and if there is any ivory on the hilt - check the CITES rules on Google.

I have never handled a Kukri. I live in South Africa which has much less rigid laws regarding knives but I would have to look into the law regarding importing knives. I would certainly be cautious of anything with ivory. thanks for your input.
