Looking at picking a cold steel kukri up, found one for a decent deal. So what model is this?

Sorry, I do realize it's not the best pic.
 
I don't recall a black powder coated model with the Bando Association logo on the blade.
I'd have to check the archives.
Sorry, this is before my time.
Let me do some homework and get back to you
 
OK, that looks like an old Gurkha Light Kukri
circa 1999-2000
I believe they were Carbon V steel with a baked on anti-rust coating
There were two models available at the time, a 9.5" blade and a 12" blade
 
SK-5 Gurkha Kukri had a black coated blade when they changed over from Carbon V and were produced in China. One of the excellent "China Dolls" .. great performance.
