Sirupati
Hello Fernando and all other forum-members,
In Nepali / Ghorkali language Sirupati literally means "lilly leaf". It is said, that it was mainly used in West Nepal, while in the East the broad-bladed Kukuri were used. But please don't consider this as an "iron rule"! One finds both versions all over the country. The Sirupati not only has narrow blade, but it is often much shorter. It might be rather strongly curved or not. You see: The exist many variations, and the National Museum in Kathmandu shows them all.
Kind regards,
Ronald
