All right, I'm cool with that explanation.
Spiral what would you say about the age of this piece. Is Victorian to ~1900 fair? Also, what can you say about the beefy handle - why exactly do you think it's so much thicker? I remember you writing at some point on IKRHS about the people "reserved" for palace guard duty being bigger. So are we talking different size users?

Ariel, can you post the khukri, i'm curious to see how good new khuks are made...all I know are the Indian ones on ebay and those sold by Hymalayan Imports.
