I know nearly nothing about kukri and until a few days ago I don't have seen maybe the real deal. But I see that this are good blades and they seems to be well cared for.
 Nice collection, thank you for sharing. Regards, Detlef |

Thank you Detlef
That is a lovely kukri there Rick, it looks hollow forged and partial tang? Thank you for sharing, cheers Simon |

Yes, hollow forged .
A thin steel plate at the butt with what looks like a cut nail holding it in place . For splitting a chicken in the kitchen it's incomparable . I reckon the two pieces are very early 20th C. |
