Post WW2 Kukri with 10.75” Steel Blade - Horn Grip and Leather Covered Scabbard

Here on offer is a post WW2 vintage Kukri with a horn grip and leather covered scabbard. Given the fact it has brass fittings I feel this is more of a civilian version as opposed to military type.

It has 10.75” curved and polished steel blade and a very sharp cutting edge and tip. It does now have areas of light surface pitting on both sides, as shown in my photos. I feel some of this could be removed by using some metal polish.

The grip looks to be made from a solid piece of dark horn with carved central ring grooves.

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

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

The scabbard has the usual wood structure covered in black leather. It is fitted with a belt flap that is pinned in place. The tip is fitted with a diamond shaped polished brass 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.

The blade measures approximately 10.75” (27.4cm) long and the knife is 15.5” (39.4cm) in total length.

With the scabbard, it weighs 765g
