Love the silver hilts on 2 of these kuks. Surprised that the 2 silver hilted kuks don't have kothimora scabbards.

Salaams Battara ~ I had no idea what a kothimora scabbard was until I went after this one ... I found a good reference at http://www.thekhukurihouse.com/catalog/product.php?id=313234f87
which essentially says the scabbard is silver / silvered and special from the viewpoint of honour.
