A pre WWII (?) khukuri
I found this old fellow on Ebay, and was intrigued by the kardas. Their curve and length was so graceful. The khukuri is 16.5" long and weighs about 12 oz. The spine is .280" (7.1mm) thick. The kardas are 7 3/4, and 8 1/2" long. There's an interesting repair behind the bolster. A band of iron or steel circles the handle, with a pin through the tang. Thought you folks might enjoy it.
Thanks for looking, Steve |
