Description

An authentic early 20th century Gurkha kukri, retaining its original leather-covered wooden scabbard together with both accompanying utility knives. The kukri features a traditional broad curved blade with characteristic cho notch, horn grip with brass mounts and decorative rivets. The original leather scabbard shows expected wear and age-related patina, while the blade retains good form with surface wear consistent with age and use.

A desirable example of the iconic Nepalese fighting and utility knife, complete with its original karda and chakmak, making it an increasingly difficult set to find intact.

Circa 1930

Overall length 45cm
