Plenty of in-depth war reads. Enjoy!

Mods please remove if this is a repeated thread.

I note that the khuk in the above pix are longer than 15" standard. Probably 17"

Is it my imagination or do Nepalis look half mongolian half indian? Seriously every picture I see of Nepalis their eyes look mongolian, but they have the dark skin and their chins are indian...

Captlid,

They did mention about the background of Nepalis on the website.

It's time well spent reading!

Hung,

Looks like 15" BAS to me. Or it could be the picture.

JayGoliath, thanks for the link, cool website! and yes, those look like regular service 15" khukuris to me too.

As for Nepalese people they hail from several different ethnic backgrounds, with some looking distinctly East Asian/Mongolian, while others look very South Asian (Indian, etc.), and a good mix inbetween.
