question about my Kukri

[theevilmike]

a friend passed away and i was left with this kukri
can anyone tell me anything about it
is it a cheap reproduction?
possibly, is the steel any good?


the writing on it says "GORKHA ARMY" "1070"

I have one just like it. It's a tourist piece of course, no real collector value, but if it's like mine you'll find that it's actually pretty well made, and the blade takes and holds a good edge.

Don't try to chop down a tree with it, but it'll serve well as a heavy machete or as a secondary anti-zombie sidearm.
