Okay, here's a picture of a khukuri a co-worker of Marya's brought back from Nepal.
Anybody know what it may be? My guess is that it's a tourist-quality khukuri. The blade is rather thin, and probably isn't differentially hardened (I haven't done any blade testing because it's not my khukuri, but the handle seems hollow, which suggests that it's not meant for serious use).
The handle is bone.
