Thanks, Spiral.

All,
I dont know of any references to these types of Kukris, somebody please enlighten me if you can!
However, it seems to me....from the wackiness of the curve, and the style of scabbard, these kukris are typical Indian. Just my opinion,
Cheers,
Runjeet

I agree Runjeet, Definatly not Nepali, I always guess at India, Perhaps Punjab or even Afghanistan way, they seem made for quite large hands, those I have seen.

No evidence about it though.
