nice XMas gift

This would be a nice little stocking stuffer...

This is an old piece of jewelry that was brought back from Nepal in 1840. The actual age could be older.

Almost a shuriken (sp?).

Not nearly as deadly as:

(Sorry, John. Was looking up the spelling on Google, and...)

That truly is a beauty. A bit beyond my pocket book I'm afraid.

I remember a certain Cantina reg'lar who professed to waving a cardboard khuk at the office.

Deadly grace combined no doubt with a frugal nature.

That's all I'll reveal, even paper splinters under my nails wouldn't make me say more.

No, it's not for sale and is locked away the Gurkha Museum in Winchester along with other rare and old Nepali jewelry. There is also a set of spoons and a brooch that incorporate kukri and kora designs.

I'll bet this piece could be reproduced by a talented jeweler.

Roger, you certainly wouldn't want to bruise someone's ego.

I'm surprised people still remember that. That Walosi is quite the character.

Absolutly beautiful. I have seen lots of jewelry with kukri motif's but never one with koras.
