My newest acquisition for comments

Yes, it is a kukri bladed short sword (or a tulwar hilted large kukri). Not a sosun pata but a different weapon entirely.

The blade actually appears to be of high quality steel. It is sharp and shows signs of use. The hilt may be a replacement but to me it looks quite elegantly cast despite being brass or bronze and not steel, which may or may nit indicate its age.
