Is this a sirupate?
 

Seeing photos of sirupate khukuris I've noted that they have a narrower blade than other khukuris types. However, I'm not sure if this class has other distinguishing features. This was an Ebay gamble, cosmoline covered blade and looked old with iron fittings in the photo but turned out to be brass fittings. Still shows age, must be from around WWII if brass fittings are a reliable age cutoff, otherwise I would think a bit older.

I think it is a suripate and no earlier than WW1.

Yes Sirupati
 

JeffS,

I agree with Battara, it is a sirupati and a really long blade at that. From what I can see, the blade is about 15.5". The brass furniture and the presence of a butt cap make me want to say civilian WWII or after. INMHO, the distance between the cho and the ferrule would also be unusual for an earlier blade. Really nice piece with a horn hilt and a reinforced edge blade. It was made for someone with some cash to spend and wanted a good, quick blade. What is the thickness of the spine at the hilt?

Sincerely,
RobT

Very helpful, thank you. Spine is 7.5mm.

Good Thickness
 

JeffS,

Just a hair under 5/16. Not bad at all.

Sincerely,
RobT
