Impressive Post WW2 Kukri with a heavy 10.5” Polished Steel Blade - Wooden Grip Plates and Leather Covered Scabbard

Here on offer is an excellent example of a post WW2, possibly military dress type, Kukri with a leather covered scabbard.

It has an impressive 10.5” thick and heavy, curved polished steel Bhojpure type blade that is in excellent condition, with a very sharp cutting edge and tip. There is just a couple of small areas of light pitting on one side of the blade, as shown in my photos.

It is the “full tang” variety that expose the tang edges along the grip edge. The grip is fitted with two grooved dark wooden grip plates that are held in place by two large flush steel rivets.

The polished steel oval pommel has a raised lozenge-shaped tang button.

The ferrell is also made from polish steel with a smooth finish.

The scabbard has the usual wood structure covered in black leather. It is fitted with a thick belt loop that is securely attached to a leather band around the scabbard. The tip is fitted with a diamond shaped polished steel chape.

On the back are two pockets that hold a pair of small steel tools, fitted with wooden grips. One of these, the Chakmak, is for sharpening the kukri and can be used with a flint to create a spark. The other, the Karda, is used as a penknife for skinning animals.

This fine and very heavy bladed example is in excellent overall condition and such fine examples are now becoming hard to find.

The blade measures approximately 10.5” (26.7cm) long and the knife is 15.75” (40cm) in total length.

With the scabbard, it weighs 985g
