Just received my 15" ang khola. The kamis mark is a squareish trisul with Hindi marking "u b"

Who might this be?
 
Is the ub written in Hindi as well? And this is my second hi blade having owned another since 2004 that has gone on 2 overseas deployments. The first ang khola I owned unfortunately "died" from a .50 cal round.
 
I carried "AK" hi mounted in a custom kydex sheath on my pack. On patrol we were ambushed by a large group supported by a technical, while moving to a covering position the technical opened fire and I took one round to the pack right trough the "AK". It knocked me to the ground, got up, returned fire, and we repulsed the ambush, with the only casualty being my pack and "AK". All I had left is the fat part of the blade, the handle and other half are lost in the same owl somewhere. Being good steel I traded the remnants of that blade to a local for a silk throw rug....
 
One for the ages; rifle plates can't chop wood while saving lives :). Glad everyone made it out okay that time.
 
Sometimes real life experiences are more unbelievable than anything in a movie! Having been overseas a few times now I'm always amazed and at times saddened with what I've seen.
 
Yes it was, in fact I wrote a letter to uncle bill before he passed away thanking him and to pass my thanks on to the kami in Nepal, my first one saved my life a few times!
