Well heres another rare beast thats fallen into my lap! {Although Artzi came a close second in his bidding! :wink: }

A Genuine Holtzapffel & Co London made kukri! I presume WW1 but will have to do further research.

Its of truly outstanding workmanship as befits Englands most prestigious & renowned, manufacturer of Gentlemans lathes, prescion engineering tools & fighting cutlery. {Also auther of books on Steel forging,sharpening & tempering etc. as well as ornamental turning which are still regarded today by many cabinet makers as the bible of these subjects.}

Anyway enough of the patter!
