Indians For Guns

Finally cleaned, rubbed and polished my favorite Khukri, though it still needs some work. The result now is the hard work of one month.

It has a 13 inch blade and is 7.5 mm thick at the heaviest portion near the handle. It is a heavy thing and feels good and well balanced while handling.
The blade has some engraving on both sides, that my simple camera can't capture. One side is a peacock and the other side engraving is probably only a design or something that I can't figure out.

Good. Is it custom made?

Walibaa, it is not custom made but I bought it ages ago and it was not easy to find. There were regular Khukri's available in abundance.

beautiful one Atul and very well kept. Do you require license to keep such 13 inch blade? I am interested t have one but not sure if I need a license.

I also don't know but I have read over here something to the effect that the local administration can put restrictions on sharped edged weapons. But I do not carry a knife around so it doesn't matter to me.
I have a few full sized swords, sword sticks and knives that are more than 9 inches long.

Nice blade Atul. What does the insignia with two Khukri stand for?

Thanks Zombie,

The lower curved portion of the insignia just has 'NEPAL' embossed on it.

Atul

Aha. I thought it may have name of an Army unit on it.

Atul,
That is a very nice khukri.
Thanks for sharing.

I have the same type of Khukri Purchased from Nepal.

That is a very beautiful blade indeed

I have also the same Khukri. I have some Imported knives and two katanas made in India. I want to know if there is any rules to keep these as legally I.e I want to have a Licence for these. Thanks

Loin.heart,

It does not make sense in having a license for a knife. You are allowed only 3 weapons on a license, so it is better to go in for fire arms instead. Unfortunately that is the truth for India.
