Another mid 20th Century Indian Kukri?

rickdeckard · 30th December 2025, 03:04 PM

Picked up by my Uncle when in the Himalayas in the late 1970s. Handle seems to be bone? Looks fairly crude. Is this another North Indian made kukri?

Thanks, M.

Looks Nepalese to me.

Love that bone grip and the smoothly curved spine.
Nice One. Probably a 'villager' Kami who knows what he is doing...

Thanks for the responses, chaps. I’ll get some more shots and dimension up. The “pommel” looks to be brass.
