While there is still lots and lots to do you can get a feel for the website I put up. Eventually every picture will have a close-up page with photos of details and a brief description. It's going to be a long time coming but I hope it will be helpful.

www.kukris.net

This is the introduction that I don't think is up yet:
While most of these kukris and koras are in my collection some are from various sources and will not lead to a close-up details page as there is no way to get the proper photographs. My apologies for this.

It is my hope that you will find something similar to a kora or kukri you own and this will provide some information and identification. It must be pointed out that most of these are not mass produced nor are machine made so minor variations abound. Even factory made military kukris have details that confound research or definition. I have attempted to identify year of manufacture, type or area of origin and marks when found.

I will try to answer your questions and if you have a specific piece you want identified it will be neccesary to attach a good photograph and measurements. Please use this diagram as a guide although the most important information is overall length, weight and any unique marks or embellishment. info @ kukris.net
 
That should be(come) a truly wonderful site, John. Labors of love show it.
 
Nice design, John. That's going to be a great resource. And source of frustration, because I doubt you'll be offering JPBBs.
 
JP, your Photoshop & graphic design skills are A+A.

A great beginning... and one day, a/the most looked-to site for kukri delvers-of-knowledge.

Still want the book- know this is part- thanks for sharing your work.

What a treat!

Man, oh man.

This one's bookmarked. After viewing the koras, I said to myself, "I can't wait until the descriptions are available."

Then I saw the kothimoras.

This is going to be good.
 
Awesome John...can't wait to see it mature!

Already added to my favorites...

Congrats! :D
 
John will you one day have larger pics up when you click on a kora or kukri where the information about said weapon is posted?

Will you have greater detail on all the ones you personally own?

I already have your website in my favorites as well. I'm sure it will be an oft visited site once you have it finished.:D :cool:
