Kukris: An Evolution in Pictures

mrcjgscott · 27th August 2015, 12:40 AM

Thank you for the kind words Ian,

I am hoping that this will encourage more collectors to "dip a toe" into this particular field, and stimulate some much needed new blood and discussion.

I have learned a lot from the forum, and it is the very least I can do to try and pay a little knowledge back into the collective bank.

Sadly I could not provide labels for all the images due to the upload method (or perhaps my lack of computer expertise!) so if there is any uncertainty, especially concerning the military examples, I must apologise.

Kind regards,

Chris

A most impressive collection of crooked knives!

Thanks for the kind words Gents, glad you like them.

They may be a little crooked, but I still like them!

Chris,
What a stunning display of magnificent specimens! Thank you for sharing them with us.
In such distinguished company, I hesitantly put forward a small selection to illustrate a few other refinements of shape and decoration.

(Apologies - I thought I had all the pictures properly sized; obviously I did not.

Berkley,

I am normally attracted to the nice deeply flowing blades, but for some reason, the Quality your last example exhudes, has me returning to it again & again!
Fantastic piece.

Chris,

Thanks So much for starting this thread, and for showing such beautiful examples. Very useful too, to see them separated into age groups.

Congrats and thanks again!
Richard.
