Thanks Runjeet! There interesting kukris, strange beasts indeed!
Nice one Rod, Think you had an older one with similar scabbard & chape as well perhaps? straiter blade though? Some sort of Inscription on the blade , I think? But my memorey may not have it quite right.Or it might have been another collection? Andrew, All Nepali,Indian & Afgan kukris are differentialy hardend. Thats how there made.  They usualy use boiling water from a Teapot to do it!Spiral |

All,
I dont know of any references to these types of Kukris, somebody please enlighten me if you can! However, it seems to me....from the wackiness of the curve, and the style of scabbard, these kukris are typical Indian. Just my opinion, Cheers, Runjeet |

I agree Runjeet, Definatly not Nepali, I always guess at India, Perhaps Punjab or even Afghanistan way, they seem made for quite large hands, those I have seen.
No evidence about it though. Spiral |
