I found this description to a Khukuri for sale on a site that rhymes with fleabay. They are talking about Ysva aren't they?

This is one of the special types of khukuri developed by Nepalese Khukuri House. The blade is 14 Inch Cherokee Khukuri compact version of kukri which is handcrafted at NKH factory. Cherokee Indian and the creator of the YCS-khukuri, the inspiration for the Cherokee Rose was his love of the old Scagel Knives. The shape and size of this kukri similar to Angkhola kukri but with curve tip of blade where the groove on the blade is forged in a different way. It is also called budhune Khukuri (budhune, one of the oldest kukris made in Nepal). The craftsmanship on this knife is amazing so if you are looking for the finest quality khukuri you will not be disappointed. We can use like jungle bush, cutting vegetable, meat, bamboo, wood and so on. The kukri comes with 14 inches blade where the handle is 6.5 inches. The spine is 8mm and the bevel is 7mm where the widest part of the blade is 6.2cm. The weight of kukri is 1400 grams with scabbards. Set of Karda and Chakmak included and high quality small knives (Utility Knife + Sharpener) for better made and tampered than the regular ones. Sides carrying the knife in war time, this blade can be used to chop wood or bone cleaning bushes.

Opinions about this?
 
OK-It's not quite like anything I've seen before...?

Not so much the Kukri being sold but the method of which they are selling it bothers me.

I don't want to post the link but it's looks like a cross between a WWII and a CAK. I like the blade just not the marketing...
 
Yeah it sounds like they stole the Cherokee Rose name and slapped it on the Uncle Bill Especial...of course, they couldn't use the NAME of the man whose company they are ripping off. It's just what they do. Nothing new, fellas. As unfair as it is.
 
Here is a picture. I like the shape again a cross between a CAK and a WWII

Kind of funny -- OR NOT --- how they misspelled Cherokee on their website !!! --- LOL
 
Our friend and respected elder Yvsa appears to have been integrated into the blade culture of Nepal.
 
One of the khukuri houses (they all seem to be owned by one family, I believe) has also "borrowed" designs from Tora. They even left the name "Tora Military Range" on their Ebay description. There was speculation they may have hired some of Tora's old kamis. I wouldn't doubt they have had some of HI's past kamis come through the door also. Knife designs are "borrowed" all the time, but cutting and pasting paragraphs from competitors websites and forums is just cheesy IMHO. Take care.
