Very nice sirupati blade, hollow forged-grinded. Berkeley, do you think the chisel-like tool would be a nail cleaner?...It was common among the implements of the gar khukris, known as "trousse".
My best regards Gonzalo |

Nail cleaner, scribe, gouge/chisel, screwdriver, or ? The chakma, after all, serves both to straighten the blade edge and strike sparks from flint. A man with few tools and much ingenuity can find many uses when the need arises.

Nice kukri.
The tool looks like a screwdriver to me too. Why not. If this kukri is dated 1940/1950 a screwdriver would be handy now and then. Ps. The lions are a happy couple. Reminds me of Dreamworks production "Madagascar"  Best regards, Willem |

May well be a screwdriver! Certanly looks like one in that profile! The only time Ive had such a tool with a kukri though it was as sharp as a carving chisel, so as most third tools with a kukri are for personel hygene, hair pullers,teeth cleaners,ear scoops etc. I cant realy say exactly what it is on just that photo.  Great observation Willem! Spiral |
