Excellent kukri with, dare I say, a wootz blade

Yes, it resembles the sossun pata of the type Rawson calls "islamic form" (photo No. 1) and not the one he calls "hindu form" (photo No. 11), on "The Indian Sword". Also, he presents a khukri similar in some way to yours, with metal handle and the piece over the blade covered by koftgari, but with a very different form of hilt and blade and without kaudi (photo No. 26). Yours looks much better.

Thank you very much for your response.
