Hello Jim,
I'd also like to see more antique khukuri (or Nepali blades in general) being posted/discussed! What are the stylistic indicators that place these examples into the Kumaon region or even Almora/Uttarakhand in general? What is known about the ethnic groups that actually utilized these blades in these regions? Ok, I'll bite: What about this rather heavy blade (attached below; pics courtesy of Rick)? Does the inscription help? Regards, Kai |
