This one is a bit odd in that the inlay decoration on the handle is very common, and included on touristy pieces, yet the blade seems substantial enough, and the brass bolsters, though nothing extraordinary, are similarly found on Khukri that are working knives. I like the look of this one as a knife that potentially has the capacity of being working knife. At least it doesn't have an aluminium lion head pommel, chromed blade with 'India' and dotted swirls all over it and a couple of pieces of rust attatched to handles of horn made to look like the companion utility blade and steel! The fuller though looks like an afterthought done with an angle grinder and a cutting wheel.
