We will wait and see what the "magical khukuri" tells us.
The khukuri Ganga Ram is holding is the khukuri of his youth -- the type his grandfather and father made and I am sure when he was a boy he saw plenty of them made exactly this style and probably tried some on his own. His grandfather's khukuri making days go back 120 - 140 years! Astounding when you stop and think about that.
That saying "they don't make'em like that anymore," certainly holds true in this case.
