This is very much similar to Standard Khukuri
British Service No. 1. The Kukri’s shape and
scabbard is same but Leather is totally different.
It has used cream color leather, mostly, comes from
India. All Khukuris have two pockets on the back
of the scabbard which hold a blunt steel called
"chakmak" for sharpening the blade or for striking
spark from flint and a little knife known as
"karda" used for skinning small animals such as
rabbits. The notch (kaura or kaudi) in the blade
near the hilt of most khukuris serves as conduit
for the blood on the blade to drip out, thus
preventing it from soiling the hilt, as well as a
device for catching and neutralizing and enemy
blade. The blade is made of hi-graded Carbon steel,
which has about 10½ long blades while the SADAN
(Most Strong Wood) handle is 5" long. It weighs
about 700 grams. The total shipping weight
including display wooden stand with packing is 1.5
kg.
