One hell of a Khukhri

Another favourite knife, a 12 inch khukhri. It is a fully potent tool but I use it for display only. It was a gift from the Nepalese CoAS.

In my opinion, the title of the post aptly describes the Khukri.
Can you tell us more about this Khukri, especially that inscription?
Is it yours?

It is a Nepalese army khukhri. This one was given to me by their Chief in April 2012. It's a bit too big for me to carry around and the sheath and the inscription make it more a mantelpiece exhibit. Still has a sharp edge and the steel looks good.

It is a fine collectors piece, I'm sure you'll treasure it for many years to come!
