Mid 20th century kukri

Thanks for the reply. My uncle passed in 1983, so I guess this is closer to 45 years - a vintage Indian tourist replica! Yes, the two small knives are very crudely made.

yep you can still get the same model today,
they are thinner than the original kukris, being cut from steel plate. 5-6mm normally . in fact you can get the same models with the metal bands on the handle going back to ww2 made in india but the blade son the older knvies are much better...
yeah tis say 1980s or so , these days the sheath is more crudely made.
