This military style khukuri features a 12 inch (31 cm) blade with a well formed cho that is 0.33 inch (0.83 cm) thick at the spine. A concave cutting edge from the cho becomes convex to form the 'belly' of the blade and ends in a relatively acute point. A typical pair of shallow, narrow fullers track the spine on either face before the forward turn. The blade face is slightly concave from the back, widening before the bevel to a sharp edge. The blade is finished bright with fine grinding marks and some scattered discoloration and fingerprints. The hilt is of dark wood with an iron bolster. The hilt has an aluminum cap plate with a rocker engraved inscription 'EFR Dacca 1935'. (Dacca is the former name for Dhaka, currently the capital of Bangladesh, located in the Bengal delta.) A well fitting black leather covered wooden scabbard with an aluminum tip cap accompanies the kukri. There is an area of damage on the display face of the scabbard with leather loss (possibly there was once a strap here) and all but the back of the pouch has been been lost. Sheathed length is 17½ inches (44.5 cm) with a weight of just over 20½ ounces (588 grams).
