Kukri ID

So I'm not really a collector, I have acquired a number of modern and antique blades to accompany my martial arts practice. I haven't had any experience in a martial art related to the kukri, but anyone who has spent any time in weapon arts has heard of the tales, so I had to get one. This was an ebay purchase, selected both because it was relatively inexpensive and because quite frankly I liked the lines.

Blade length (measured along the spine) is 11 inches, it weighs in at about 14 oz, so a little on the smaller side. Handle appears to be a greenish horn of some kind, with some damage on one side. There do not appear to be any markings on blade or hilt. I realize this is pretty generic (or appears to my eyes) but if this provides any clue to anyone, I would love to hear any info on its story. Thanks!
