Nice kukri Rick.

Do you have a pic. of the butt-cap, square on?

If you lay the blade edge on a vise, or anvil, you may be able to tap the rolled parts back with a very light ball-peen hammer. If you do it right it shouldn't show that you had to "operate" on it!

Thanks for showing it Rick.

Thank you Richard .
I have a small chasing hammer that I will try on the rolled edge parts .

A picture of the butt .
The handle seems quite diminuitive .
I have small hands and it feels a bit small when gripped .
