The 'chirra' are essentially fullers. they vary from one up to 5, maybe more on specials.

A dui (two) chirra antique: (not mine, googled)

I have more. the top one with the stag handle is a 15" blade beast. The bottom one with the circular guard is the smallest, 6in. blade, and sharp as heck.
Middle photo, top khukuri is a WW1 model with dui Chirra, not quite as distinct as the google one above.
