John,
Thanks for the good stuff.

 

[Daniel Koster]

Yes, JP - if you get a chance, fill us in with the details on this long-curve beauty.


Father-in-law was admiring the khukuri you sent me, by the way and wants to know the history behind the false edge. I had no idea.....

Again not disappointed with my monthly wait for!

A skosh over a 1lb and 17.5" this Victorian era knife has uncommonly fine steel and beautifully checkered walnut grips. The scabbard is as interesting as the knife and I am guessing it was made in England perhaps for a retired Gurkha Officer. My poor photgraphy doesn't do this piece justice.
