Thanks Jim, yes its a shame JP had to leave the kukri world, {I am sure he looks in & reads sometimes still though.}
The kaudi represt many Gods, Kalis cliterous is certanly one, Shivas cow hoof symboll another, many represents different Temple roofs, including Buddhas. The Nepalis , Hindos & Gurkhas dont follow one God, they follow many.
Heres some clasical temple roof or stupa types...
And thats just of military issue mk.1 kukri, made from 1903 to 1915!
There so many kaudis if studied its unbeliavable!
Even ones like this!
{Courtsey of Singhaofdarjeeling on IKRHS.}
I reckon never mind a chapter a book could be writen on kaudi alone!
