Hi

A few months ago I acquired this kukri and I don't know so much about them, would someone be able to give me information on this kukri (approx. date etc)...

The scabbard is natural leather.
Coments will be much apreciated.

Many thanks.

It looks like a nicely made Nepalese kukri to me, is the handle partial or stick tang with with an attachment?

Best,

You got it. That's a stick tang. You may be missing a butt-plate on this one.

Best,
