Kukri knife question

Blade looks older than the handle and fittings. I'd venture a guess to say the smaller knifes, sheath and blade are original. Handle seems to be a re-hilt.

Very nice and classy well made dui chirra (two fullered) blade, the Karda is a small utility knife and the Chakmak is a blunt but hard tool to 'steel' the edge if t gets rolled. I much prefer the smooth spine curve of these earlier blades as opposed to the broken back khukuris of more recent vintage.
