Today I had to reach up in the top of a closet and used an old antique chair that seemed way too heavy. As I tried to figure out why it was so heavy I found a hidden compartment and in it was two kukri I thought I had lost about 18 months ago!

The one on top is my first kukri, a Jungle model I got from the Nepalese Khukuri House (NKH) I think about 2009 or 2010. It has been a workhorse and of course has lots of sentimental value.

The one below is my absolute favorite and most used traditional kukri, a Bonecutter model from Himalayan Imports made by Murali. I’ve ripped apart my house, vehicles and workshop many times looking for this treasure and so glad it’s back in my hands! This is an older kukri and is not overbuilt, heavy or clumsy. It’s has an absolutely perfect weight and balance, the edge and bevel get the job done, and it has a very comfortable handle.

I deeply apologize to everyone on the planet for suspecting and blaming you…

The chair has a hinged seat but I rarely touch it so I had no idea. As to how they got there, all I’ll say is that “someone” must have cleaned and put them there without telling me.
 
Lol, congrats on your "new" blades. :)

Gotta ask.......what's with the hidden compartment in a chair? I am as intrigued by this, as much as how the kuk's ended up in there without you remembering?
Exactly what I was thinking!
