Thank you Detlef

That is a lovely kukri there Rick, it looks hollow forged and partial tang? Thank you for sharing, cheers Simon

Yes, hollow forged .
A thin steel plate at the butt with what looks like a cut nail holding it in place .
For splitting a chicken in the kitchen it's incomparable .

I reckon the two pieces are very early 20th C.
