 Just googled "churi" and came up with this Pakistani weaver's knife. Also turned up this definition: “Churi” in Nepalese means “Knife”. It literally means a domestic or household cutting tool used to benefit a user. Edited to add this link: Perhaps it is a Chugri?  http://www.yoniversum.nl/dakini/churi.html n2s Last edited by not2sharp; 5th April 2006 at 07:48 PM. |

Heres another one with identical carving patterns to the classic shell carved wooden Nepali kukri scabbard.
