How is today's issue Kukr classified? Does it have a NATO number?

Question for Spaffo:
Does your Kukri have a wooden or horn handle? I presumed wood from the first picture but with Sirupate mentioning the Atlanta Cutlery ones which have horn handles I'm, not so sure now.

Hi Robert Guy, they are classified as Service no.1 or Service no.2, there is no NATO number as the RGR deal with the orders themselves, as opposed to the MOD. Also if you're on FB join my FB page for loads of info (PDF).
