Somewhere in my boxes is a Kukri brought back by a CBI Veteran, he carried it in Burma. I need to unpack but have to pack up before Dec...sigh, bummer.

I have two. One is from a Ghurka on my PSD, the other I bought in Kathmandu. A Kukri from Cold Steel or another contemporary maker is not a kukri and has zero appeal. May as well buy a machete from Home Depot.
