I have to say, I like the proportions. The shortened spine from bolster to bend puts the dropped blade closer and I bet would make it quite manageable. Usually I don't care for the Indian khuks that much and I vastly prefer the look of the Nepalese handles, but in this instance it looks like somebody has a fair eye and did a nice job.

This looks like one of the infamous lion head khukuries. It's a tourist piece, but I don't know what the I.C.E. reference is. Do a search under this forum for "Lion Head Khukuri for more information.
