WWII era Kukri

[flphotog]

This is a Kukri my father brought back from India, he was stationed there during WWII. It had been stored in the sheath for years and was in pretty sad shape. A couple years ago I took it to a local knife maker and he did a great job cleaning it up. Also did a pretty good job restoring the sheath given the shape it was in.

Hallelujah! Awesome piece.
I'd love to see some chopping, if not for the historical significance..

Yup, this one is for display only.

That's gorgeous. I love the old military frogs they used to put on the scabbards. The knife maker did a great job cleaning it up.

Absolutely, that's one hell of a story to pass down with it as well.

I should add that the knife maker verified that this one was handmade by the Gurkha's probably from a railroad tie and wasn't manufactured for the British Army.
