He lists 5 or 6 khuks as "collections" but no pictures.

One of the itemizations is referred to as khukri bayonet.
Anyone have any idea of what this is, how it looks?

Kismet - I imagine he'll have photos of khukuris and such up later on - I think it's a fairly new site, I don't recall coming across it before.

They look like a khukuri blade welded to a socket bayonet mount. Often that is exactly what they are. Someone cuts and welds the two pieces togetherto attract collector attention. But, there are some authentic examples, authough the blades are only somewhat khukuri-like (i.e. a recurved knife shaped blade).
