Dhankuta?

[CD Fleischer]

Uncle Bill and fellow khuk kooks,

Can you enlighten me as to what defines the dhankuta khukuri style? I have one on the way, but was curious. Looks very much like the BAS style.

Thanks!

Clay

Yes, it does. The Dhankuta generally has just a little "hump" on the back of the blade. It's a style I toss around fairly easily when a blade is not a BAS, WWII, specifically. They look pretty much the same but are just a bit different. I am sure the kamis would argue with some of my tags.
