I found this on http://www.youtrek.com/asia/nepal.htm
while looking for a place to order a khukuri and I'd like to show you a bit of the text from that site:
"Beware of fetching old artifacts out of Nepal. One of the most popular scams is the selling of Ghurka Knives (Khukri) when you get to the airport they sometimes take them off you and give them back to the sellers to sell again to some other poor devil, (all genuine Khukri have an army number stamped on them) so do not declare them, leave them safely hidden in your baggage."
GENUINE Khukuri have an army serial number? Do craig's? I'm confused (as I know NOTHING on the subject), so I'd like to hear the interpretations of the more educated khukuri fans (more-so than I, that is).
-Thanx,
Paul
