Sword identification?

[zach2556]

This sword my grandfather gave me, it doesnt have any marking on it that I'v seen.

I don't know anything about this sword at all. So if I would be able to find out around what time this sword would be made and around how much its worth.

It's a kuk...they are still being made by various manufacturers, in many variations. Good luck in searching for more info, this is all I can help with!

That's a khukri, its more of a large knife rather than a sword. It's used by and made famous by the "Gurkers" from Nepal and also put to good use by many in surrounding regions.

I am no expert on them but there are many guys here who can probably be more help to you on the specifics of that knife.

head over to the Himalayan imports cantina and ask them
that's where the Kuku nuts hang out

Alright thanks for the info, i posted it over there too, would this be the right place to post pics of a WW1 bayonet? I'm just trying to get an approximate price for it?

Its a late 19th Century or very early 20th century khukuri, looks British Gurkha Issue, nice one.
