Thanks to Andreas Volk the German kukri collector Heres a link to
"A settlement and smithy of the blacksmiths (kami) in nepal"
An English translation of Andreas Hofers work.
"Eine Siedlung und Werkstatt der Dorfschmiede (Kami) in Nepal"
linky...{Adobe pdf file.}
http://www.thdl.org/texts/reprints/kailash/kailash_04_04_04.pdf
A short fascinating insight into the life & craft skills of a particular Kami settlement in Nepal, that some of you might find fascinating.
Written in 1972.
It even put a name to this symbol found on a ww1 era kukri.
Bottom one in this photo... {all triple spine fullered pieces.} The middle one is my main user, A Royal Gold Kothimara that some idiot stripped for the scrap value....:grumpy:
