			I was intrigued by the argument about definitions: kukri or sosun pata. AFAIK,  kukri ( or proto-kukri) was brought to Nepal by the Rajputs who had sosun patas galore.  
		
		
		
			Both are just Kopis-type blades. Perhaps, kukri in its classical form was just adapted to the landscape and the size of the inhabitants? Here is something I wanted to ask your question about: would you define it as a kukri or as sosun pata? It ain't no Afghanistan or India, for sure:-)  |
