Yes its a crying shame, Id like to believe the politics, egos & money making intent of the kukri world wernt involved, but sadley I belive they were.
Hopefully Ill be proved wrong. Its not what true collecters are about.
But its also true some people work from agendas. I have been a victim of them before in the kukri world, tis a shame, I realy do like kukri & discussian & learning about them & other ethnographic weapons.
