FEBRUARY calendar

I have no idea what this month's example is. Looks Indian, but has a strange clipped point. 22" w/o the the pommel ring. Any ideas?
If anyone wants to send me a picture for next month's calendar please do.

Thanks for the calendar. You are right, it is a bit of a strange one, maybe someone knows more.

Regards

It looks like a mutant kukri ...

Mark, would that then make it a kook?

It's a regional kukuri variation (Western Pakistan?), though the depth of the fuller seems unusual.

Definitely not Jose , as the term kook is a derivative of the Hawaiian noun Kukai .
