Spiral - the sword of Siva on the middle one of your khuks is very like the one on one of my 19th-c.:

By the way...your link to the HI Forum should read like this:

the one you have doesn't seem to be working...

Just right click the link above and select "Copy Shortcut". Then paste it in your html.

cheers Dan id doubleled up on the http://! and thanks for pointing out the similarity of the cho mr.Beoram!what part of the 19 centry do u think its from? is this known? by the way I love your site perhaps mine may evolve in its style & direction {dream,dream,wish,wish,,hope,hope!} o well we shall see. strangly enough my farorite khuk is nearly identical to the one u showed me! i think its a tin chirra though as it has 3 hammered fullers,ill see if i can post it tonight or tommorow.
regards spiral

Nice knives guys. Spiral, I especially like the kukri on the bottom: a classic 'budhume'. Do your knives have their sheaths and accompanying knives?

Beo, that is a great looking knife, but I think this is an example of a kami using the armoury crescents as a selling/design point. This wouldn't have been an issue kukri, but it is one I would like in my personal collection.
