Hello. I like your reasoning but I have a few that share that trait that I think are original. Here are two: A quick look has shown them to be well forged with nice fullers. And at 60cm/24inches one is quite long. And in both cases I've seen Kukris that appear to be made by the same hands that also have the same cho feature.
