A Kukri for Comments

Ferguson,
I'm quite partial to these wooden-scabbard village kukris, as they tend to be very functional as well as representing the best sort of folk art. Yours has a lovely patina on the handle and scabbard, likely indicative of both use and age. Like most of these products of small village smithies , the blade is not finely polished but still retains much of the scale from its forging.
You might enjoy checking out the new International Kukri Research & Historical Society forum.
Thanks for posting the excellent photos.
