Golden Kukri

CCUAL · 23rd August 2011, 07:43 PM

Hello, I recall seeing a golden handled kukri a week ago and if I am not mistaken it ended last night. Unfortunately, I was out of town, I was not able to watch it end or even cast my lowly bid. Can some one provide me a link to it or just the ebay item number. Really appreciate it. Thanks again, Chris

Here are the other pictures for our archives. I believe it to be North Indian with gold over copper. Notice the second edge on top of the blade. It went for $1900!

I put in a last few seconds bid that wasn't even close. I think that the blade may well be wootz. Agree or disagree? Steve

Maybe but for that price let's hope so.

Probably the only non-muslim weapon I really wanted.

It sure is a looker, but why the second edge? That has me puzzled.

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.
