Stabbing indeed Spiral.
I have had great honour in handling many fine and rare Kukri as many of you know and I hope the owner doesn't mind me saying say but this example is the best Kukri I ever handled in form, contruction and quality. |

Indeed Gav!
It certainly looks a quality piece... Only one bit , I don't like, that of the blade riccaso extending below the hilt line. Both aesthetically & practically that seems unnecessary to me. But Id gladly home it for further study!  Spiral |

Sounds good Gav! Any idea of its weight & balance point?

I haven't weighed it J but the balance point is just in front of the handle.
