Simon,
Thank you for the reply and photos!
That looks a really nice kukri, and the karda looks to be of such a length to be some use as well!
I have a few questions if I may;
The pocket for holding the tinder, Is it sewed to the karda pockets?
How are the karda pockets attached to the main sheath?
I see a 'belt' encircling the main and back pockets. Is this tied at the front with buttons, or sewed together?
How is this scabbard attached for wearing?...(I don't see any loops or anything)
Re. my kukri;
I'm rather pleased it's a 'village' type!
What style would you classify it as? (To me, it looks like a sirupate, being rather narrow, but I'm learning I hope!)
The ridge on the scabbard runs all the way around, and has "Guernsey MAy '65" on the back.
Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry for so many questions!!
This old kukri had been badly attacked by a clown with a grinding wheel when I got it. see pic. attached;
Thanks again and all best wishes,
Richard.
