Nepali?

Hello,
I saw one at an antique shop here, it was poorly made I thought. The dealer called it a genuine khukri and wanted 300 for it.
I think these are made in India as a cross between khukri and bowie...the scabbard is khukri-like, and Himalayan Imports makes a number of models sort of like this but better quality. The blade on this one could be good though...
Perhaps Spiral will have more to say, he knows khukri :Thumbs up:
