Khukuri with nicely carved handle

Timo Nieminen · 29th April 2017, 06:14 AM

Just comparing it with my own khukuris and other ones I've seen. It's most like the ones from the late 1800s. From the overall appearance, I'd say 1860(?) at the earliest, through to 1920s at the latest.

My impression is that the later ones tend to have bigger prongs in the notch/kaudi and are usually not as well made. So I'd guess late 19th century. But it could be a later very-well-made one.
