Another 19th century khukuri

[not2sharp]

It has been so long, it about time I share a picture of a nice khukuri. This one is probably a late 19th century example and has an very heavy blade (it's almost as thick as a HI khuk) with an elegant ivory handle. For some reason the knife seems a bit smaller in this picture.

What's the one on the top? Is it a Nepali switchblade?

With the belly that thing has and, if it is close to the thickness of an HI, there sure has to be some weight there. If you are like me you don't have any thing to weigh it with.

Still a nice looking blade. It looks like somebody had to clean it up some time back.
