Two Indian Knives for interest and/or comment

I remembered seeing a few examples with jade handles, so I searched for "Indian kukri jade handle" and went from there.

There are three more similar examples in this thread too: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?p=83113

They're described as "early tourist kukri (1920-40) Northern India"

Hello Silver John, you have made my day, thank you for your info and pics I am much obliged. I can see them being tourist souvenirs but that does not rule out them being sold as hunting knives for European tourists

Regards
Migue
