A clearer Life size photo taken in 2005 by myself showing the slight vestige of the kaudi on the same kukri.
This is typicle on the so called "kaudi less" pieces of this era.
The older the kukri the smaller the kaudi does seem to be generaly true...
Spiral.
Heres a karda based on the same style as many of these old kukris, with the minute kaudi still visible.
