Kukri & Hunting Knife Lot
This lot features two vintage Indian kukri knives and a hunting dagger. The kukris exhibit the characteristic curved blades associated with this Nepalese and Indian weapon, traditionally used by the Gurkha soldiers. The blades show varying degrees of patina and wear, indicative of age and use. The hunting dagger has a straight blade and a different handle construction, suggesting a different purpose and origin.
