Very large kukri.

My second purchase of last weekend, the largest "real" kukri I have ever handled. Also posted on other collector pages, but I do like to share! A very large dui chirra, with a 16.5 inch (41.91 cm) blade, but very light at 18.37 oz (520 grm). I believe this to also be the oldest kukri in my collection.
At this size and weight I don't see it as being a tool, a sacrificial blade or a secondary weapon, but I think a blade to accompany a dhal (shield) into battle. Open to other opinions though.
