I need some help identifying what is supposed to come with a kukri purchase I made.

[Reaper17]

I recently purchased a kukri from a store selling knives. After doing some research and hearing some reports that that guy I purchased the knife from is less than honest. I did some research. On the box it shows my kukri and it's two supporting knives. I only have a kukri, now I am fully aware that is no where near enough information to make any accusations I want to know if anyone can assist me with identifying where the knife might have came from and if it's two supporting knives are supposed to be with it.

What I know about.

The knife was made in pakistan.
It has gurkha service kukri 901119 BR on one side of the box and and number 901120 on the other side.

Here's a pic for reference.

smells of pakistani... missing the karda and chakmak maybe?

 

[not2sharp]

Traditional kukris usually have a karda (utility knife) and a chakmak (burnishing tool) which are carried in small pockets attached to the top of the main sheath. If the sheath has these, I would suggest contacting the seller and requesting the knives.

yes it sounds like you are missing your Karda and Chakma....or what one might call utility knives...if my mind serves me..one is a sharpened utility type blade the other is not sharpen to help straightn' the edge of the knife...if you have a passion for Kukri here is were you might want to be...it's in our own bladeforum....http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/739-Himalayan-Imports

Sheath doesn't have pockets on it. So I'm not to concerned. I might stop in and see if he had any for sale but I needed to double check
thanks.

 

[Karda]

It is the one cheap khukuri that usually gets sold labeled as "Gurkha Officers Khukuri" because of the brass rings in the handle.
If the scabbard has no pockets for them, then karda and chamak are not included.
These are indeed usually made in Pakistan, but have also been made in India.
Fit and finish can vary by maker, but the Heat Treat is almost always crap because they try to mass produce them like cookies and quench in a bucket. To properly set the pine on a traditional khukuri, you really must follow traditional methods.
That said, sometimes you get a good one, but to my knowledge, they are few and far between.
Reputable sellers usually try to get around $20 for them, others will try to get more.
