Kukri

FRANCOIS · 5th July 2026, 08:29 AM

Hello everyone,
I recently acquired this kukri, which has no markings.
It measures approximately 43 cm in length and weighs 460 grams. The blade is 9 mm thick at the base and has a maximum width of 5.7 cm. Viewed from above, the blade tapers gradually all the way to the tip.
The handle seems rather short to me, measuring 11.5 cm including the bolster, and the pommel is flared.
I don't know much about kukris, and I would appreciate any help in estimating its approximate age. The blade has been cleaned and was probably repolished, but I don't know anything more about its history.
Thank you in advance for your help.
