Himalayan Imports unmarked WWII kukri with a gorgeous dark satsal wood handle, like new.
As for the lack of markings, I have spoken with Yangdu (the owner of HI), and she said it's rare but sometimes the Kamis forget to mark the blades. It is a genuine HI made blade without any defects. 16.5" overall length.
The blade is a full 1/2" thick at the spine, unfortunately, none of the photos I have of it capture that thickness... If you'd like to see the spine thickness, just ask and I'll take some pictures.
It is an awe inspiring blade, really, but it's just not for me.
I paid $175 USD + 70 USD shipping to get it here. I'd like to offer it to my fellow Canadians for $260 CAD shipped within Canada. PayPal only, please pay the fees if using the G&S option.
I'd also consider a trade for an ESEE Junglas (like new/light use, no beaters please) I'll consider any color combo.
