Nice Indian made piece, I Like the flared /spike tool, those kukri in this style I have seen provenaced in dated from late 40s to late 50s. The use of the Lions of Ashoka would tend to agree with post independance.

The long tool could be a chisel etc. but its resemblance to an European screwdriver is, from what we can see, exact. I thought it an indication of association with a rifle?

Is there some reason people seem reluctant to call this a screwdriver. It surely looks like one to me...
