Excellent kukri with, dare I say, a wootz blade

I too wouldn't call it a Kukri but more a Kukri Hybrid as there are a couple of Kukri elements. What it lacks to be a proper Kukri is the Cho/Kaudi.

Of particular interest is the fine multi fuller arrangement along the spine. They are very nice. Something seen on higher end Rajasthan Sosun Patta.

I'd place it in the Northern Sindh areas at a glance with the blade perhaps from further East.
