Yes Tal,
Tha ancient Nepalese kamis were time travelers who liked They Berk special so much the took it back into the last century to copy!
I must admit that could be a confusing name thats why I titled this thread in the way I did! a confusing name,But I thought some furumites might find it interesting due to its similarity! I was merly trying to illustrate that it appears an identicle design! The 15.75 inch blade, with deep double fullers, etc,!!
o.a. 20.in. long & it wieghts 24 oz.
What would you like me to call it?
Also JP informs me it may not be an Armoury kukri or even an issue one as apparently they didnt inlay the armoury marks!

Hi Rod,
Yes its one of mine, It weights the same as the MK11, M43 ,K,45 etc but is 20.in. long! A real head lifter! It makes the WW1 & WW2 kuks seem like tools not weapons!
Its a quality piece .
