Welcome kalama!
The models may look the same but vary slightly in construction, weight, size and chopping ability.

Go to the Himalayan Imports website

Check out the Khukuri FAQ

Especially this page on khukuri dynamics

A villager is basically a standard model, but the blade isn't polished and the wood usually isn't finished.
A "True villager" still has the forging "scale" on the sides of the blade (giving it a blackish appearance). Only the bevel has the scale removed sue to sharpening.

Villagers and true villagers tend to come sharper than the polished models.
