It's called a "Sword of Shiva" , and according to the owner of Himalayan Imports, "If the scrollwork and inlay in the Sword of Shiva had any meaning it has been lost in time. The scrollwork and inlay are the "khukuri system" which has been around forever." - Kami Sherpa
The Sword of Shiva is very attractive, and differs a bit among the various models H.I. offers. The Sirupati's and Chitlangi's Sword of Shiva, for instance, have inlays of brass, depicting "lightning bolts". For some really nice closeups of the Chitlangi's Sword of Shiva, check out this thread: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=273656&highlight=chitlangi+ZVI
