Thanks Runjeet! There interesting kukris, strange beasts indeed!
Nice one Rod, Think you had an older one with similar scabbard & chape as well perhaps? straiter blade though? Some sort of Inscription on the blade , I think? But my memorey may not have it quite right.Or it might have been another collection?
Andrew, All Nepali,Indian & Afgan kukris are differentialy hardend. Thats how there made.

They usualy use boiling water from a Teapot to do it!
